Select
Guest Network
.
5.
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 see each other and access my local network
. If this check box is
selected, anyone who connects to this SSID can access your local network, not just
the Internet.
•
Enable Wireless Isolation
. If this check box is selected, wireless clients (computers
or devices that connect to the WiFi network) can access the Internet but cannot
access other clients.
6.
Give the guest network a name.
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.
7.
Select a security option.
The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security, but some older
computers and wireless devices cannot use it. Best practice is to select the
WPA-PSK
[TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
radio button. This setting protects your WiFi network and lets
computers and wireless devices connect to the WiFi network by using either WPA2 or
WPA security.

Control the WiFi Radios
The gateway’s internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz range. By
default, they are on so that you can use WiFi to connect to the gateway. When the wireless

You can enable or disable the wireless radios and you can set up a WiFi schedule.

Beamforming
Beamforming means that your gateway actively tracks clients and directs WiFi to the client,
rather than just blasting it out in all directions. This means better WiFi range and performance
for your WiFi devices.
The gateway uses explicit and implicit beamforming to improve WiFi performance. Explicit
beamforming requires the client to support beamforming. Typically 802.11ac clients support
beamforming. Implicit beamforming means that the gateway can support beamforming even
with clients that do not support beamforming. This gateway supports implicit beamforming for
both 2.4 and 5 GHz clients, which means that it will provide beamforming benefits of better
range and performance for all WiFi devices, even older 802.11a/b/g/n, not just the latest WiFi
clients.
Implicit Beamforming
Implicit beamforming means that the router can use information from client devices that
support beamforming to improve the WiFi signal. This feature is enabled by default, but you
can disable it.
To disable implicit beamforming:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.

or

password.
To specify WPS settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or

Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the gateway’s wireless
settings through WPS.
5.
(Optional) Select or clear the
Disable Router’s PIN
check box.
The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the gateway detects suspicious
attempts to break into the gateway’s wireless settings by using the gateway’s PIN through
WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by clearing the
Disable Router’s PIN
check box.
6.
(Optional) Select or clear the
Keep Existing Wireless Settings
check box.
By default, the
