How to create a guest network

How to create a guest network

You can easily create a guest network for friends and family members. This will mean they have access to the Internet, but at the same time your private files in the network cannot be accessed and will remain secure.

Creating a guest network is only possible if your router is equipped with firmware version V2.0 or higher. Download the latest firmware if your router is not equipped with it. Click here for more information on checking your firmware version or downloading and installing new firmware.

Create a guest network via your router’s Settings menu (Graphical User Interface). The device (desktop PC, notebook, tablet) you use to access the Settings menu must be connected to the router. This can be either a wired or a wireless connection. Carry out the following steps: 

1. Open a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari.

2. Type the following address in the address bar http://sitecom.router (or http://192.168.0.1) and press Enter.

3. Log in with your username and password. For the user name, enter “admin” (lowercase). The password can be found on the bottom of the router or in the Network Login Details flyer that may have been supplied with it.
