Local Access versus Guest Access

Cisco Connect offers two types of access: local access (Computers and devices option) and guest access (Guest access option)..

With local access, computers and devices will have access to the Internet and to other devices on your local network, including shared computers and printers, which are connected to the Router.. Local access can be given to a wireless or wired device.. Refer to Computers and Other Devices, page 6 for more information..

Guest access allows you to provide Internet access to guests visiting your home.. Your guests will not have access to computers and devices on your local network, so they will not have access to your personal data.. Guest computers must connect to your network using a wireless network connection.. Provide your guest with the guest network name and password.. Refer to Main Menu – Guest Access, page 6 and Guest Access, page 8 for more information..

The following diagram shows a typical example of how local access and guest access are used in the same home..
