Automatic shutoff
If you would like to set a time limit for the guest ac-
count, enable the option Automatically shut off
guest account after ... and enter the desired time
limit.
Note that the guest account depends

Encryption
You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent
anyone in signal range from intruding into your net-
work and, for example, sharing your Internet connec-
