Guest Network
The Guest Network page allows you to configure a guest network. A guest network is a
small section of an organization's computer network designed for use by temporary
visitors. This guest network often provides full Internet connectivity, but it also strictly
limits access to any internal (intranet) Web sites or files.
Traditionally, you needed to use different Wireless Access Points to configure different
wireless networks. Your Cable Modem/Router supports Multiple SSIDs, which allows
you to use the same access point to provide several wireless networks simultaneously.
You can then assign various privileges to different SSIDs and associated networks.
y
Up to eight wireless networks are allowed on one Cable Modem/Router
simultaneously, one for Admin access and seven for Guest Networks.
y
If you are using WEP, you must use different WEP keys for different wireless
networks.
y
You should use different Passwords for different wireless networks if you are using
WPA/WPA2.
