Araknis Networks Wireless Access Point
Product Manual
Wireless Settings
15.6 - Guest Network
Used to give guests limited wireless network access using different security credentials.
Pro Tip –
For models with 2.4 and 5Ghz radios: With Band Steering enabled, the 2.4 and 5 Ghz
networks automatically share SSID settings. If Band Steering is not enabled, provide guests
with passwords to both the 2.4 and 5GHz network for seamless operation.
Pro Tip –
Fast Roaming will not work for SSIDs created using the Guest Network feature. To
create guest SSIDs with Fast Roaming, see section “24.1 - Configuring Guest Networks with
Fast Roaming” on page 79.
