5. Configure the following settings to set up a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network:
• Enable Guest Network. By default, the guest WiFi network is disabled. To enable
the guest WiFi network for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi band, select the Enable
Guest Network check box.
• Enable SSID Broadcast. By default, the router broadcasts the SSID of the WiFi
band so that WiFi stations can detect the WiFi name (SSID) in their scanned
network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi
network, clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
• Allow guests to see each other and access my local network. By default, WiFi
clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network cannot
access WiFi devices or Ethernet devices that are connected to the main WiFi
network. To allow access to the main WiFi network, select the Allow guests to
see each other and access my local network check box.
• Guest Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest
WiFi network name. The default 2.4 GHz SSID is NETGEAR-Guest. The default 5
GHz SSID is NETGEAR-5G-Guest.
To change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this
field.
6. Select a WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network:
• None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device
can join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network. This is the default setting for
the guest WiFi network.
• WPA2-Personal [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some
older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select
WPA2-Personal [AES] security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to the 2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your guest WiFi network
includes older devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-Personal [TKIP] +
WPA2-Personal [AES] security. To use WPA2 security, in the Password (Network
Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password.
• WPA-Personal [TKIP] + WPA2-Personal [AES]. This type of security enables
WiFi devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the
guest WiFi network. However, WPA-Personal [TKIP] is less secure than
