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 FX3100 Wi-Fi network.

IMPORTANT: 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.
• WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode can be used if some of your older devices do not support WPA2.
• 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. NOTE: Avoid using this option.

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. You can click the eye icon to view the password.

CAUTION! It is critical 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.

Other Settings

Broadcast guest network name (SSID): When checked, this allows the Wi-Fi guest network to be displayed in the list of available Wi-Fi networks on your connected devices. If unchecked, this network is not visible to connected devices.

Wi-Fi privacy separation: When checked, each connected device on this network is isolated from all other connected devices. This provides additional security if some connected devices are unknown or not completely trusted.
