Set up a guest Wi-Fi network

The short answer

Want to hand out Wi-Fi to guests without giving up your main password? Set up a guest network with its own name and password from Router Settings → Wireless.

Steps

1. Open your dashboard at http://192.168.8.1 and tap Router Settings (at the bottom).
2. Open Wireless.
3. Pick the band you want the guest network on — 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz, or both. Tap Modify to unlock the fields.
4. Turn on the guest network, give it a name and its own password, and Save.

After you save

The router may briefly restart its Wi-Fi to apply the change. If your phone drops off for a moment, that's normal — reconnect to your main network, and your new guest network will show up in the Wi-Fi list.

Still stuck?

If the guest network doesn't appear after the Wi-Fi restarts, give it a full minute and re-check your Wi-Fi list. Still missing? Reach out and we'll take a look.
