Network Name (SSID)
-----
-The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name
shared by all devices in a wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 keyboard characters. The default is Linksys followed by the last 5 digits
of the router’s serial number, which is found on the bottom of the router. If you
used the setup software for installation, then the default Network Name is
changed to an easy-to-remember name.
Note—
If you restore the router’s factory default settings (by pressing the Reset
button or using the Administration > Factory Defaults screen), the Network Name
will return to its default value, and all devices on your wireless network will need to
be reconnected.

Wireless > Guest Access
The Guest Access feature allows you to provide guests visiting your home with Internet
access via wireless.
The guest network is a wireless network separate from your local
network.
The Guest Access feature does not provide access to the local network and its
resources, so your guests will not have access to your computers or personal data.
For
example, the guest computer cannot print to a printer on the local network or copy files to
a computer on the local network. This helps minimize exposure of your local network.
