User guide

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

NOTE: To turn the Wi-Fi guest network on, you must select at least one band for Guest network under Band Selection on the Wi-Fi Settings tab and then select Save Changes.

Network Settings

Guest Network Name (SSID): Enter a guest network name (SSID) to set up or change the guest network name. The name can be 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.
• WPA2 Personal PSK (AES) can be used for WPA2 devices.
• WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode can be used if some of your older devices do not support WPA2.
• None allows anyone to connect and access Wi-Fi network and use your data plan to access the internet. NOTE: This setting is not recommended.

Password: Enter a Wi-Fi password, or you can use the Generate new password button. NOTE: The password must have a length between 8 and 63 characters and contain the following: upper-case letter, lower-case letter, digit, and special character.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that you change the password from the default and use a different password from your Admin or primary network password to keep the device and your network secure.

Generate New Password: This button inserts a strong random password in the Password field.

You can click the eye icon to view the password.

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.
