Set Up a Guest WiFi Network
If your router supports a guest WiFi network, you can enable guest access and view and

content on other computers or devices on the same network.
Enable Guest Access
To set up your guest WiFi network, you must enable the guest assess feature.
To enable guest access:

Connect your mobile device to the router’s WiFi network.
