• Wireless Name (SSID): This acronym stands for Service Set Identifier and is the
name of your wireless network. It differentiates your wireless network from others
around you. It is recommended to use a different name from your primary wireless
network to a name that you can easily identify and differentiate from the primary.
You can reference your guests to access this network instead of the primary.
• Internet Access Only: By default, the option is checked to allow guests to only
access the Internet and restrict access to your local LAN network. Please note that
unchecking this option will open access to local LAN network to guests.
• Wireless Client Isolation: Checking this option will restrict guests from
communicating with each other over the guest network such as share files.
5. Under Security Policy, you can apply a different wireless security type and key to the
guest network. Please refer to page 15 to find out about different security types and
page 16 for wireless security configuration.

your router to an existing network that is already using the IP address settings your
router is using, or if you are experiencing problems establishing VPN connections to
your office network through your router.

The DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. It is recommended to leave this
setting enabled.

specific device on your guest network.
