Guest Networks

Adding 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. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Guest Network.
The Guest Network Settings page displays.
5. Select any of the following wireless settings:
Note: These settings apply separately to the 2.4-GHz b/g/n and 5-GHz a/n
bands.
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 Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, then wireless clients (computers
or WiFi 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 selected, any user who
connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access.
6. 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 WiFi devices in your network to use the guest network name in
addition to the main nonguest SSID.
7. Select a security option from the list. The security options are described in
Wireless Security Options
8. Click the Apply button.
