your wireless security key.
To set up a guest network:

Select
Basic >
Guest Network

Select any of the following wireless settings:
Enable Guest Network
. When this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled,
and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile.
Enable SSID Broadcast
. If this check box is selected, the wireless access point
broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the
correct SSID for connections to this access point.
Allow guest to access My Local Network
. If this check box is selected, anyone who
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.
