How to set up a guest WiFi network
Setting up a guest WiFi network on your router is a pretty straightforward process.
All you need is a laptop or mobile device with an internet browser. You also need to be connected to the router that you want to make changes to (either via WiFi or an ethernet cable connection).
Once you’ve confirmed your connection with your router, you need to access your router’s settings page. This can be accessed by typing the IP address (or provided URL) into the search bar of your browser.
When you’ve reached your router’s settings page, you need to log in with the username and password for your router’s settings.
Upon successfully logging in to your router’s settings, you need to look for the “Guest Network” settings section of your router. In these settings, you should be able to:
-Enable a guest WiFi network (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or both)
-Determine the name and password of the guest WiFi network
-Decide if you want to hide the SSID of the guest WiFi network
-Decide if you want devices on your guest WiFi network to be able to communicate with each other (or access your local network)
Once you’ve made all the desired configuration settings to your guest WiFi network, select “Save”. After a few seconds, you should see the newly created guest WiFi as an available network in your devices’ WiFi settings.

Your videos are so under appreciated. I love how you talk slowly and also explain everything thoroughly. There are so much topics you cover that are very hard to find else where on the internet. Thanks!

Sounds like fun to me!
Thank you so much, finally a comprehensible and properly explaining video! Sorry, this will be a long comment, but I just have to share my thoughts. I love content creators like you, who explain everything in detail, calmly and clearly. Unfortunately, there are less and less of them these days... This is partly understandable, because the viewers and the current society want to solve everything in 3 minutes, they are impatient and only the final solution is important to them. They don't care about why something has to be solved or set up in a certain way. But (in my opinion at least) it is just as important. Even among my acquaintances, many of them click on the video on a certain "explanatory" topic that is the shortest. These are usually "mind-numbingly short" to make them appear as a very brief and easy DIY solution. Then of course they replay each section 10 times, which ends up spending three times as much time... I'm glad you didn't cut it down to a 3 minute video, I was able to follow you practically in real-time and successfully created a guest network, and even limited the download and upload bandwidth on the guest network (it's useless to share 200 up and 1000 down while having some beer with a friend, who may want to show us something or post pictures... so I set it to 10 up and 50 down, which I think is plenty). Thank you very much, keep up the good work. If people are really interested, they will definitely watch those videos wich explain everything in details and which are a few minutes longer. Maybe your audience will grow more slowly, but for sure you will get subscribers who really want to see a detailed and quality contet. And they will stay subscibed and keep watching your videos. As for me, I'm sure! 🙂
