Sign in to your router or mesh system, find Guest Network settings, enable the guest network, and give it a separate password.
Step by Step
- Open your router or mesh-system management interface.
- Find Guest Network or Guest Wi-Fi.
- Enable it.
- Choose a network name and strong password.
- If offered, decide whether guests may access local-network devices.
- Save the settings.
- Test the guest network from a phone.
If That Doesn't Work
- For visitors, disabling access to your private local network is usually desirable.
- Available controls vary significantly by router manufacturer.
