Guest Network on wireless question
I wish to create a guest network on my router for friends and family to access when they visit.
Now I know the risks with any wireless network when it comes to security but as long as I change the password regularly would it be ok to keep the guest network active instead to have the hassle of activating it every time i have a visitor. |

Maybe I'm naive, but if I didn't trust them with my WiFi I'd certainly not let them across the threshold.

There is no reason you cannot have your guest network permanently enabled, with security.
Technically, I have my Guest network permanently enabled, with encryption, and a password. This is becasue you cannot split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks out on my Deco system any other way. I have one SSID for 2.4GHz network , and a different SSID for the 5GHz network. Having both on the same SSID casues a few issues with smart devices that only do 2.4GHz. |

I have now enabled the guest network which has WPA2\WPA3 security and the password is 16 Characters long consisting of upper\lower case letters and is alphanumeric. The password is also a mixture of English & Welsh.

I used an old Nintedo DSi XL, and it didn't like my Routers Security, so I opened my Guest network with no security, but a password, (Yes I know, but it was temporary), the good thing is a Guest network cannot see the other network.

I find the Unify kit pretty good for this sort of stuff....Guest networks with client isolation, block access to the router, etc.

Its not always the case generally. Isolation is a setting on my system, and I have it turned off. |
