Set up a guest WiFi network
Guest networks allow visitors at your home to use the Internet without using your WiFi
security key. You can add a guest network for the 2.4 GHz WiFi band and the 5 GHz
WiFi band. By default, the guest networks are disabled.
The extender provides two default guest networks with the following names (SSIDs):
•
2.4 GHz guest WiFi network SSID. NETGEAR_GUEST_EXT
•
5 GHz guest WiFi network SSID. NETGEAR_GUEST_5GEXT
By default, these networks are configured as open networks without security but are
disabled. You can enable one or both networks. You can also change the SSIDs for
these networks.
To set up a guest network:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
extender network.
2. Log in to your extender:
•
If you did not enable the One WiFi Name feature, enter
http://www.mywifiext.net/ in the address field of the browser.

If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, enter one of the following URLs:
-
