NETGEAR Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 Router User Manual page 64

If you enable the guest WiFi network, the router automatically sends the new settings
to the satellite so that both the router and satellite broadcast the guest WiFi network.
To enable and set up a guest network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Guest Network.
The Guest Network Settings page displays.
5. Select the Enable Guest Network check box.
By default, the guest WiFi network is disabled.
6. To control the SSID broadcast, select or clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check
box.
When this check box is selected, the router broadcasts the SSID so that it displays
when you scan for local WiFi networks on your computer or mobile device.
7. Either use the default WiFi network name (SSID) or type a name in the Guest Wireless
Network Name (SSID) field.
The default SSID is NETGEAR_GUEST. If you type another name, it can be up to 32
characters long and it is case-sensitive.
8. Set the WiFi security by selecting one of the following Security Options radio buttons:
• None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device
can join the WiFi network. We recommend that you do not use an open WiFi
network. This is the default setting.
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security is Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) version
2 with a pre-shared key. It uses WPA2-Personal standard encryption with the AES
encryption type.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security allows clients to use
either WPA-Personal [TKIP] or WPA2-Personal [AES].
• WPA3-Personal. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA3
to join the router's WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard and is more
secure than WPA2.
