A guest network allows a user to create a separate platform from which the specific users can access the Internet without accessing the personal files of the main network. A Guest network is assigned with a unique Wifi name and password that a user uses while accessing the network. You can either create an open guest network or create a password that will only allow the authorized users to access the network you created.

Note: Users are recommended to assign 5GHz as the frequency band of the Guest network.
