The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Guest Network.
The Guest Network Settings page displays.
5. Enter the following settings to set up a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network:
• Enable Guest Network. By default, the guest WiFi network is disabled. To enable
the guest WiFi network, select the Enable Guest Network check box.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. By default, the router broadcasts the SSID of the WiFi
band so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name (SSID) in their scanned
network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast for the guest WiFi network, clear the
Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
• Allow guests to see each other and access my local network. By default, guests
who are connected to the guest WiFi network cannot access WiFi devices or
Ethernet devices that are connected to your WiFi network. To allow access to
your WiFi network, select the Allow guests to see each other and access my
local network check box.
• Guest Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is the guest WiFi network
name. The default 2.4 GHz SSID is NETGEAR_Guest. The default 5 GHz SSID
NETGEAR-5G_Guest.
To change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this
field.
6. Select a WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network:
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older
WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2-PSK [AES]
security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to guest WiFi network at the fastest
speed. If your network includes older devices that do not support WPA2, select
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security. To use WPA2 security, in the
Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the
guest WiFi network, the guest must enter this password.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices
that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi
network. However, WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits
the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps. To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the
Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the
guest WiFi network, the guest must enter this password.
• WEP. This is a legacy security option that is available in the 2.4 GHz band only if
the selection from the Mode menu in the Wireless Network (2.4GHz b/g/n) section
