NETGEAR R6350 User Manual page 58

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
By default, these networks are configured as open networks without security but are disabled. You can
enable one or both networks. You can also change the SSIDs for these networks.

Description
The SSID is the 2.4 GHz WiFi band name. If you did not change the SSID, the default
SSID displays, which is NETGEAR_Guest.
To change the SSID in the 2.4 GHz WiFi band for the guest WiFi network, enter a
32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field.
By default, the guest WiFi network is disabled. To enable the guest WiFi network for the
2.4 GHz WiFi band, select the Enable Guest Network check box.
By default, the router broadcasts the SSID of the 2.4 GHz 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 WiFi band for the guest WiFi network, clear the Enable SSID
Broadcast check box.
By default, WiFi clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz WiFi band of the 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.
