6. Leave the Enable SSID Broadcast check box selected.
Allowing the router to broadcast its WiFi network name (SSID) makes it easier to find
your network and connect to it. If you clear this check box, that creates a hidden
network.
7. To change the network name, type a new name in the Guest Portal Network Name
(SSID) field.
The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. If you change the
name, make sure to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place
.
8. In the Authentication Mode section, leave the Local radio button selected.
9. In the Authentication Options section, either specify an open network or set an
authentication password by doing one of the following:
•
None. To specify an open network without authentication, select the None radio
button.
•
Password Authentication. To set an authentication password, select the
Password Authentication radio button and specify a password in the field. The
password must be a minimum of 8 characters and can be a maximum of 64
characters.
Note: In order for visitors to access the Internet, they must enter this password
in the guest portal.
10. To set an expiration time for how long visitors can access the Internet, select a time
from the Expiration menu. After visitors are authenticated, they can access the
Internet for that period of time.
If you select Never from the menu, visitor access time is not restricted to any period.
11. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The router sends the new settings to the satellite.
Set up a guest network with a captive portal
A captive portal is an entry to a guest network that requires guests to view a splash page
and agree to terms and conditions before using the network. When using captive portal
guest networks visitors cannot see other devices that are connected and they cannot
access the local area network (LAN).
