A guest network allows visitors to use the Internet without using your WiFi security key. By default, the
guest WiFi network is disabled.You can enable and configure the guest WiFi network for each WiFi band.
The modem router simultaneously supports the 2.4 GHz band for 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b devices
and the 5 GHz band for 802.11ac, 802.11na, and 802.11a devices.
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 Up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band,
the guest WiFi network also functions in the Up to 54 Mbps mode in the 2.4 GHz band. For information
about configuring the WiFi mode, see
View or Change the Basic WiFi Settings
on page 102.
The
