On top of standard WLAN SSID you can set up two guest networks per 
wireless channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz). Just go to advanced settings on the 
Super Hub 2ac Network Manager and click on the network you wish to amend:

• 

2.4GHz first guest wireless network

• 

2.4GHz second guest wireless network

• 

5GHz first guest wireless network

• 

5.GHz second guest wireless network

Now visitors have access to your network, and the internet, for as long as 
you need them to.

Don’t forget, guest networks use locally administered MAC addresses. This 
means anyone using a device designed to disable these networks could 
make your guest network unstable. You can usually set devices so your 
guest network works properly.
