your wireless security key.

broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the

correct SSID for connections to this access point.

connects to this SSID has access to your local network, not just Internet access.

that join the network can use the Internet but cannot access each other or access

Ethernet devices on the network.

The guest network name is case-sensitive and can be up to 32 characters. You then

manually configure the wireless devices in your network to use the guest network name

in addition to the main SSID.
