The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then

manually configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name in

addition to the main SSID.

network and lets computers and wireless devices can connect to the WiFi network by

using either WPA2 or WPA security.

Your settings are saved.
