Guest Access lets others use your internet connection without exposing your entire network. This lets guests connect to the internet, but they can't view or reach other devices on your network, such as computers, external storage, or connected devices. 

This article provides a step-by-step guide on activating or deactivating Guest Access, creating a guest Wi-Fi name and password, and sharing the login information using a web browser.

 



Directions

1. Open a web browser to access your router's web interface.

2. Click Guest Access under Smart Wi-Fi Tools.

Your guest network is now set up and ready to use.
