To change the guest network name (SSID) and password:
The default SSIDs are TP-Link_Guest_XXXX and TP-Link_Guest_XXXX_5G, and the
default password is printed on the product label. You can change the default ones by
directly entering new ones in the field. SSID is up to 32 characters, and the value in both
SSID and password is case-sensitive.

you created.

• The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless network.
• I don’t have to keep changing my wireless password as often.
Done!
