Wireless Guest Networks
A wireless guest network allows you to provide guests access to your wireless network
without prior authorization of each individual guest. You can configure wireless guest
networks and specify the security options for each wireless guest network.
To configure a wireless guest network:
1. In the main menu, under Setup, select Wireless Settings:
2. Select the radio button for the network profile that you want to set up.
3. You can specify the SSID, Security, and whether the SSID broadcast is enabled.
• NETGEAR recommends that you change the SSID to a different name. Note that the
SSID is case-sensitive. For example, GuestNetwork is not the same as
Guestnetwork.
• Wireless security is disabled by default. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you
implement wireless security for the guest network.
4. To configure wireless security for the guest network, enter the security options.
5. When you have finished making changes, click Apply.
Security Options None You can use this setting to establish wireless connectivity before
implementing wireless security. NETGEAR strongly recommends
that you implement wireless security.
