Manage the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security of the
Guest Network
A guest 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. The router simultaneously supports the 2.4 GHz band for 802.11n,
802.11g, and 802.11b devices and the 5 GHz band for 802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a 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. For information about configuring
the WiFi mode, see View or Change the Basic WiFi Settings and WiFi Security Settings
channel also depends on the channel selection of the main WiFi network.
The router provides two default guest networks with the following names (SSIDs):
• 2.4 GHz band. NETGEAR_Guest
• 5 GHz band. NETGEAR-5G_Guest
