Configuring Wi-Fi Guest Access
Overview
In addition to its Wi-Fi network, the FRITZ!Box can provide a second,
independent Wi-Fi guest network. You can make this Wi-Fi guest net-
work available to your guests. Then your guests can log in with the
Wi-Fi guest network on their own smartphones, tablets, laptops or
other network devices, without being able to access the FRITZ!Box
home net-work.
Private Wi-Fi Guest Access and Public Wi-Fi Hotspot
The Wi-Fi guest access can be configured as a private or public
hotspot.
With a private Wi-Fi guest access you can provide houseguests with an
internet connection of their own. The guest access receives its own
Wi-Fi network key and guest network name (SSID). You can provide the
access information to your guests via QR code or print it out for them.
With a public hotspot you can make Wi-Fi access available to guests in
a public space, such as a restaurant or a medical practice. The public
hotspot receives its own Wi-Fi hotspot name (SSID), but remains non-
encrypted so that no Wi-Fi network key is required.
