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.
