4. Select Guest Network.
Your modem router might display information that is different from this example.
5. Scroll to the section of the page for the guest WiFi network that you want to set up.
The default guest WiFi network names (SSIDs) are as follows:
• NETGEAR-Guest is for the 2.4 GHz WiFi band.
• NETGEAR-5G-Guest is for the 5 GHz WiFi band.
6. Leave the Enable SSID Broadcast check box selected.
Allowing the modem router to broadcast its WiFi network name (SSID) makes it easier to find your
network and connect to it. If you clear this check box, that creates a hidden network.
7. Give the guest network a name.
The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters.You then manually configure
the WiFi-enabled devices in your network to use the guest network name in addition to the main SSID.
8. For the WiFi channel and mode, leave the default settings selected.
9. Select a security option.
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security. WPA2 is the default setting.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Control the WiFi Radios
The modem router’s internal WiFi radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz ranges. By default,
they are on so that you can connect over WiFi to the modem router. When the WiFi radios are off, you can
still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the modem router.
