5. Select the Enable Guest Portal Network check box.
6. Leave the Enable SSID Broadcast check box selected.
Allowing the router to broadcast its WiFi network name (SSID) makes it easier to find
your network and connect to it. If you clear this check box, that creates a hidden
network.
7. To change the network name, type a new name in the Guest Portal Network Name
(SSID) field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. The default SSID
is the randomly generated SSID that is on the router's label, but appended with
-GUEST. If you change the name, make sure to write down the new name and keep
it in a safe place.
8. Although the preset Guest VLAN profile for the Guest Portal WiFi network works
well for most situations, if you want to change the VLAN profile, select the VLAN
Profile check box, and select another VLAN profile from the menu.
The preset VLAN profile name is Guest, the VLAN has ID 40, and the combination
is shown in the menu as Guest(40).
For more information about VLANs, see Manage the VLANs on page 72, including
How the router organizes LANs, VLANs, and WLANs on page 74.
9. Under Security Options, select a WiFi security option:
• None: No authentication and encryption is required. This is the default setting,
which might be appropriate for some public WiFi networks and WiFi hotspots.
However, for many such environments, opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE,
see further down in this section) might be a better choice.
• WPA2-PSK [AES]: The WPA2 option uses AES encryption. This type of security
allows only WiFi devices that support WPA2 or WPA3 to join the network.
When you select this option, the Password (Network Key) field displays. Do the
following:
a. In the Password (Network Key) field, enter the network key (password) that
you want to use.
It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters.
b. Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future
reference.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]: If your network includes legacy devices
(devices that support only WPA), select this radio button. This option, which uses
AES and TKIP encryption, allows WiFi devices that support WPA, WPA2, or WPA3
to join the network.
