Configure Guest Network Settings
The Guest Networks tab is only available in the Cox Business “Internet Gateway” subscription
and gateway configuration. This feature is different from the Cox Business Guest Wi-Fi service
offering because it allows you to define guest Wi-Fi SSIDs for each radio, even though the
Internet service bandwidth tier is shared between all enabled guest Wi-Fi SSIDs. The Guest
Network tab allows you to configure up to seven (7) additional SSIDs per radio. Remember that
these SSIDs share the same Internet bandwidth.
When you subscribe to the Cox Business Guest Wi-Fi service, bandwidth and a second physical
gateway is dedicated for guest Wi-Fi users and there is no contingency to the primary gateway’s
bandwidth. The second gateway dedicated to “Guest WiFi” network will not have access to the
Guest Network tab in the GUI.
The “Guest Network” section allows you to set up the Wi-Fi Radio Guest Network for both Radio
1 and Radio 2, which includes naming the network and designating whether you want to enable
it as a SSID Broadcast. In the Guest Network Settings section, you provide technical
specifications for the DHCP server. When creating additional SSIDs in the “Guest Network” tab,
all networks on the gateway share the Internet access bandwidth. There is no priority given to
any SSID.
