====Guest Network====
====Guest Network====


Most of us are aware, that network security is extremely important. If your WiFi network is not properly secured, it makes you and all of your home or office resources vulnerable to a variety of security threats. To stay ahead of the curve, many companies and home users have guest WiFi. Unlike your regular WiFi network that you or your company members use, the guest WiFi network restricts what your guests can do in your network. It gives visitors access to the Internet connection, but nothing else making you or your company a lot more secure.

The <b>General Setup</b> section is used to turn a wireless device on or off, select the operating frequency (WiFi mode and channel), transmit power and define a country code.  
The <b>General Setup</b> section is used to turn a wireless device on or off, select the operating frequency (WiFi mode, channel and channel width) and transmit power.  


A wireless 2.4 GHz WiFi channel requires a signaling band roughly 22 MHz wide, radio frequencies of neighboring channels numbers significantly overlap each other. Choose a WiFi channel according to the busyness of other channels. You can download a free WiFi analyzer app on your phone, laptop or other WiFi device and check which channel is the least populated.
