Guest Network - Devolo Mesh WiFi 2 Manuel

Hide SSID:
The SSID specifies the name of your wireless net-
work. You can see this name when logging onto
the Wi-Fi, allowing you to identify the correct sub-
net.
If the Hide SSID option is disabled, your network
name is visible. If this option is disabled, potential
network users must know the exact SSID and enter
it manually to be able to set up a connection.
Some Wi-Fi stations have difficulty connec-
ting to hidden wireless networks. If the
connection to a hidden SSID poses pro-
blems, first try to set up the connection with
a visible SSID and only then try to hide it.

4.4.3 Guest network

If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and
you want to provide them with Internet access but
without giving away the password for your Wi-Fi,
you can set up a separate guest account in addition
to the main Internet connection. The guest ac-
count can have its own network name, time limit
and Wi-Fi password. This way your visitors can
browse the Internet without having access to your
local network.
