When you change your profile options (including disabling or enabling either WiFi
network), any devices connected to the mobile router are disconnected and might
need to be reconnected.

Set Up Guest Wi-Fi

You can set up Guest Wi-Fi for your device. Guest Wi-Fi allows you to share your Wi-Fi
with temporary visitors without exposing them to your devices on Main Wi-Fi.
Note: To set up Guest Wi-Fi:
1. From the Web UI, select Guest Network.
The Guest Network page appears.
2. Check the GUEST NETWORK check box.
3. Specify the password to access Guest Wi-Fi.
The password can be from 8 to 63 characters in length.
4. If you want to lock the Guest Wi-Fi password so that it cannot be edited, check the
Generate Passphrase check box.
5. In the Encryption Type menu , select a security option:
• WPA2 Personal AES. Strong security supported by newer Wi-Fi devices, the
default.
• WPA/WPA2. Strong security supported by most Wi-Fi devices. Use WPA2
Personal AES whenever possible.
• None. Anyone can access your Wi-Fi network without a password and you are
responsible for charges incurred. Best practice is not to select this option.
6. Use the Broadcast WiFi Name switch to enable the broadcast network for Guest
Wi-Fi.
By default, Broadcast Network Name is enabled. If you need to disable it, toggle the
switch to off. If you set Broadcast Network Name to off, you are prompted to save
or cancel the Broadcast Network Name. If you choose Save, the device restarts Wi-Fi
connections, and any currently devices temporarily lose their connection.
