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
0.7 Gbps in the 2.4 GHz band, the guest WiFi network also functions in the 0.7 Gbps
mode in the 2.4 GHz band. The channel also depends on the channel selection of the
main WiFi network.
By default, these networks are disabled. You can enable one or both guest networks.
You can also change the SSIDs for these networks.
To set up a guest WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Guest Network.
The Guest Network Settings page displays.
5. Configure the following settings to set up a 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz guest network,
or a guest WiFi network that is active on two radios or all radios:
• 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, 5 GHz, or 6 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, 5 GHz, or 6 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, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz
guest WiFi network name. The default name for all three networks is
NETGEAR-Guest.
