Set up a guest WiFi network

A guest WiFi network allows visitors to use the Internet without using your WiFi security
password or with a different WiFi password. By default, the guest WiFi network is
disabled. You can enable and configure the guest WiFi network for each WiFi band.
For the 2.4 GHz band, the router supports a guest network for 802.11ax, 802.11n,
802.11g, and 802.11b devices. For the 5 GHz band, the router supports a guest network
for 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a devices. For the 6 GHz band, the router
supports a guest network for 802.11ax devices.
The WiFi mode of the guest WiFi network depends on the WiFi mode of the main WiFi
network. For example, if you configure the WiFi mode for the main WiFi network as Up
to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band, the guest WiFi network also functions in the Up to
54 Mbps mode in the 2.4 GHz band. The channel also depends on the channel selection
of the main WiFi network.
