To set up the Router guest access
The configuration of the guest wireless network, we will explain on the example of a D-Link router. The instructions for the FritzBox provides you with this practical tip.
- To Set up open in the Browser the address of the router, such as, for example, "http://192.168.0.1" and log in as a user with password.
- Depending on the model, the following options differ. In the case of a D-Link Router, for example, you click in the upper pane, click "Advanced" and on the left select in the next menu, the command "Guest Zone". Activate the Option "Enable Guest Zone".
- In addition, you can set up with a "New Schedule" means a schedule of when this access will be unlocked.
- In the field "Wireless Network Name" to change the proposed name of the network name (SSID). This designation differs from your Wi-Fi.
- The following Option "Enable Routing Between Zones" determines whether data will be exchanged between the two networks, and guests may also access their own network. For pure Internet access, leave this Option turned off.
- You finally decide on the "Security Mode", whether you offer via "None" is an unprotected Wi-Fi, or better with "WPA-Personal" the usual enable encryption. For this, you place a "Pre-Shared Key" for encryption. To do this, you can use a simpler term. This should not correspond to the password of your own network. Then you save the settings with "Save settings" and tell the guests the necessary SSID and the key.
