The router provides three default guest WiFi networks with the following names (SSIDs):
•
2.4 GHz guest WiFi network SSID. NETGEAR-Guest
•
5 GHz guest WiFi network SSID. NETGEAR-5G-Guest
•
6 GHz guest WiFi network SSID. NETGEAR-6G-Guest
By default, these networks are configured as open networks without security but are
disabled. You can enable one, two, or all 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 opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. 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 WiFi
network:
•
Enable Guest Network. By default, the guest WiFi network is disabled. To enable
the guest WiFi network for the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 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 2.4 GHz SSID is NETGEAR-Guest. The
default 5 GHz SSID is NETGEAR-5G-Guest. The default 6 GHz SSID is
NETGEAR-6G-Guest.
