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:
Select Basic > Guest Network.

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 guest 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.
Give the guest network a name.
