Wireless > Guest Access
The Guest Access feature allows you to provide guests
visiting your home with Internet access via wireless. The
guest network is a wireless network separate from your
local network. The Guest Access feature does not provide
access to the local network and its resources, so your
guests will not have access to your computers or personal
data. For example, the guest computer cannot print to a
printer on the local network or copy files to a computer on
the local network. This helps minimize exposure of your
local network.
For example, in the diagram (“Local Access and Guest
Access Diagram” on page 18), the local network includes
the wired network and the local wireless network, which
is represented by yellow waves between the router and
the wireless printer in the office and the notebook in the
bedroom. The Guest Access feature is represented by the
purple waves between the router and the notebook in the
living room.
