Guest Networks

Adding a guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet without giving them

your wireless security key. You can add a guest network to each wireless network: 2.4 GHz

b/g/n and 5.0 GHz a/n.

 To set up a guest network:

1. Select Basic > Guest Network:

2. For a 5 GHz network, scroll down to view that section of the Guest Network screen.

3. Select any of the

following wireless settings:

Enable Guest Network. Whe

n this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled,

and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile.

Enable Wireless Isolation. If th

is check box is selected, wireless clients (computers or

wireless devices) that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other

or access Ethernet devices on the network.

Enable SSID Broadcast.

If this check box is selected, the wireless access point

broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the

correct SSID for connections to this access point.

Allow guest to access My Local Network. If this check box is select

ed, any user who

connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access.

4. Give the

guest network a name.

The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then

manua

lly configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name

in addition to the main non-guest SSID.

5. Select a securit

y option from the list.

The security options are described in Guest Network Wireless Security Options on

page 30.
