Wi-Fi Guest Access Point

Wi-Fi Guest Access Point settings

The router supports Wi-Fi, for easy connection of all kind of devices supporting Wi-Fi, such as PCs, laptops and smart phones.

A Guest radio can be setup to let friends and visitors get access to the public internet service from your router. The main difference between the Private and the Guest radio is that guests will have access to the public internet only, and will not be able to access other devices or service in the end users home. As an end user you will not have to reveal your private password but can instead use a special password for guests.

Choose Create guest SSID to create an SSID for guests and fill in the requested fields. Note that the guest SSID can be defined at this point but be activated when a guest wants to use the service.

Further information

Depending on router model, it supports Wi-Fi with one or two different Wi-Fi radios. The radios operate on different frequency bands, one on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and the other one on the 5 GHz frequency. Normally it is preferred to use the 5 GHz frequency radio as it has higher capacity, most but not all devices on the market support this radio frequency. The two different radios can coexist and be used simultaneously.
