By default, the modem router broadcasts its SSID of the 5 GHz WiFi band so that WiFi
stations can detect the WiFi name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. To turn off the
SSID broadcast for the 5 GHz WiFi band for the guest WiFi network, clear the Enable
SSID Broadcast check box.

By default, WiFi clients that are connected to the 5 GHz WiFi band of the guest WiFi
network cannot access WiFi devices or Ethernet devices that are connected to the main

Security Options
If you want to change the WiFi security, select one of the following WiFi security options for the 5 GHz band of
the guest WiFi network:
• None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the 5 GHz band
of the guest WiFi network. This is the default setting for the guest WiFi network.
• WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect
WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2-PSK [AES] security to allow 802.11ac and 802.11n devices to
connect to the 5 GHz band of the guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your network includes older
devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security.
To use WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 5 GHz band
of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
• WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support either WPA
or WPA2 to join the 5 GHz band of the guest WiFi network. However, WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than
WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps.
To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the
5 GHz band of the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase.
The passphrase that provides users access to the guest WiFi network in the 5 GHZ band.
The passphrase is also referred to as the password or key.

If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
• If your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is already connected to another WiFi network in your
area, disconnect it from that WiFi network and connect it to the WiFi network that the modem router
