2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.The default password is password.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Guest Network.
Your 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.
