Set Up a Guest Network

A guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet without using 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. Select any of the following wireless settings:

• Enable Guest Network. When this check box is selected, the guest network is

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

• 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 guests to see each other and access my local network. If this check box is

selected, anyone who connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just

Internet access.

3. Give the guest network a name.

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

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

addition to the main SSID.

4. Select a security option from the list.

The security options are described in Wireless Security Options on page 26.

5. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.
