8.4 Using Guest SSIDs on the NBG6817
You can configure more than one guest SSID on a NBG6817. See
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6817 as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each guest SSID has its own wireless security type. That is, each
SSID on the NBG6817 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the
network.

using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG6817 (such as
a printer).
