Guest Network

The guest Wi-Fi network allows you to segregate traffic to a separate network rather than share access to your primary Wi-Fi network. Use settings in this section to set up or change guest Wi-Fi network information. Connected devices must use the Wi-Fi settings shown in this section to connect to the guest Wi-Fi network.

NOTE: To turn the guest network on, you must select at least one band for the guest network under BAND SELECTION in the Wi-Fi Settings section and then select Save.

Network Name (SSID): To set up or change your guest network name, enter a name (up to 32 characters long).

Security: Select an option for Wi-Fi security:

WPA3/WPA2 Transition is the most secure method of Wi-Fi Protected Access and should be used, if possible, for WPA2 and WPA3 compliant devices.
WPA3 Only can be used for WPA3 devices.
WPA2 Personal PSK (AES) can be used for WPA2 devices.
None allows others to monitor your Wi-Fi traffic and use your data plan to access the internet.

Password: Enter a Wi-Fi password, or you can use the Generate button.

NOTE: The password must have a length of at least 11 characters and contain at least one letter, number, or special character. You can click the eye icon to view the password.

IMPORTANT: It is critical that you use a different password from your admin and primary Wi-Fi network password to keep the device and your network secure.

Generate: This button inserts a strong random password in the Password field. You can click the eye icon to view the password.

Hide Network Name (SSID) on Display: This option is off by default, so that the guest Wi-Fi name can be seen on the touchscreen. If you choose to check this option, the guest network name will not be visible on the touchscreen (see Wi-Fi Name/Password).

Broadcast Primary Network (SSID): This option is checked by default, allowing the guest network to be displayed in the list of available Wi-Fi networks on connecting devices. If you choose to uncheck this option, this network is not visible to connecting devices.

Wi-Fi Privacy Separation: Check this box to keep each connected device on this network isolated from all other connected devices. This provides additional security if some connected devices are unknown or not completely trusted.

NOTE: For normal operation, this should be unchecked.

Select Save.
