Main Menu
Local Access versus Guest Access
You can connect computers or devices to your Valet by
giving them local access (Computers and Devices option)
or Guest Access (Guest Access option).
Computers and Devices with local access will have
access to the Internet and to other devices on your local
network, including shared computers and printers which
are connected to the Valet. Local access can be given to a
wired or wireless device. Refer to Computers and Other
Devices, page 4 for more information.
Guest Access allows you to provide guests visiting your
home with Internet access. Your guests will not have
access to your other computers or personal data. Provide
your guest with the Guest Network name and password.
Guest computers must connect to your network using
a wireless network connection. Refer to Main Menu –
Guest Access, page 3 and Guest Access Settings, page
8 for more information.

only; it does not provide access to your local
network and its resources or your personal
information. For example, the guest computer
cannot print to a printer on the local network
or access files on a computer on the local
network. Guest access helps minimize exposure
of your local network and your family’s private
information.
