Allow guests to see each other and access my local network: By default, WiFi
clients that are connected to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network cannot
access WiFi devices or Ethernet devices that are connected to the main WiFi
network. To allow access to the main WiFi network, select the Allow guests to
see each other and access my local network check box.
•
Guest Wireless Network Name (SSID): The SSID is the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest
WiFi network name. The default 2.4 GHz SSID is NETGEAR-Guest. The default 5
GHz SSID is NETGEAR-5G-Guest.
To change the SSID, enter a name of maximum 32 characters in the field. The
SSID is case-sensitive.

Select a WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network:
•
None: An open WiFi network does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can
join the guest WiFi network. This is the default setting for the guest WiFi network.
•
WPA2-PSK [AES]: Provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi
devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. If your guest WiFi network
includes these older devices, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security.
To use WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of
8 to 63 characters. To join the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password.
•
WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]: Enables WiFi devices that support either
WPA or WPA2 to join 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-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security, in the Password (Network
Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the guest WiFi network,
a user must enter this password.
•
WPA3-PSK: Enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the guest WiFi
network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses SAE encryption, and is more
secure than WPA2. If all devices on your guest WiFi network support WPA3, we
recommend that you use this type of security.
To use WPA3 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of
8 to 127 characters. To join the guest WiFi network, a user must enter this
password.
•
WPA2 + WPA3: Enables WiFi devices that support either WPA2 or WPA3 to join
the guest WiFi network. This type of security is also referred to as
WPA2-PSK/WPA3-PSK and uses SAE and AES encryption. WPA2-PSK (which uses
AES) is less secure than WPA3 (which uses SAE).
To use WPA2 + WPA3 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a
phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the guest WiFi network, a user must enter
this password.
