4. Select Guest Network.
5. Select any of the following WiFi settings:
• Enable Guest Network. W
hen 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 th
is check box is selected, the WiFi modem router
broadcasts its name (SSID) to all WiFi stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the
correct SSID for connections to this modem router.
• Allow guest to see each other and access my local network. I
f this check box is
selected, anyone who connects to this SSID can access to your local network, not just
the Internet.
6. Give the guest net
work a name.
The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be
up to 32 characters. You then
manually configure the WiFi devices in your network to use the guest network name in
addition to the main SSID.
7. Select a se
curity option.
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older
compute
rs and WiFi devices cannot use it. We recommend that you select the WPA-PSK
[TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] radio button. This setting protects your WiFi network and lets
computers and WiFi devices connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or WPA
security.
8. Click the Appl
y button.
Your settings are saved.
