2.4GHz Network. If the guest is using an 802.11b/g/n device (5GHz) they will need the password to the 5GHz Network,
and if the guest is using a device that can connect on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, (iOS devices) they should have both,
particularly if Band Steering has been enabled, (see previous section). DEFAULT: Not Selected.
