How to create a guest login for my Netgear R6400v2

I have a small bookstore and my router is set up for my use, but I'd like to set up a guest login for those who may want to use their devices here. How do I do that? Thanks much!

    As plemans explains, this is pretty straightforward if you follow the details from "guest" networks, but be warned that the R6400v2 is a basic consumer device that comes up with none of the security features that you get with a business access point.

     

    If you use something like an "EPOS" device to handle payments,  whoever process payments may be less than impressed with a low end router anywhere on the network.

     

    It may be fine, but you might want to think about this before you get stung somehow. It wouldn't take long for some with a bit of network experience to break in.
