Set up a guest WiFi network
A guest WiFi network allows visitors to use the Internet without using your WiFi security
password or with a different WiFi password. By default, the guest WiFi network is
disabled. You can enable and configure the guest WiFi network for each WiFi band.
The WiFi mode of the guest WiFi network depends on the WiFi mode of the main WiFi
network. For example, if you configure the WiFi mode for the main WiFi network as
0.7 Gbps in the 2.4 GHz band, the guest WiFi network also functions in the 0.7 Gbps
mode in the 2.4 GHz band. The channel also depends on the channel selection of the
main WiFi network.
By default, these networks are disabled. You can enable one or both guest networks.
You can also change the SSIDs for these networks.
To set up a guest WiFi network:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.

up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
