how to set up a guest user - model r6300
Hello
I need some help on setting up a guest user on my router. I would greatly appreciate your help! :) (I had just posted a new discussion on this, but I'm not sure if it went through so I'm posting it again. sorry about that!)
I am on the routerlogin.net, and would like to set up a guest user. do i pick 2.4ghz or 5ghz? which boxes do I click on? its already automatically checked on the 'enable ssid broadcast'. which security options do I pick? I only want to allow them to use the internet, and I want the best security. I just dont want them to have any access to my personal things. I heard WPA2 is the best. should i check that? all of my devices are pretty new- about 3 years old at most.
If someone could help me on this issue that would be great! thank you so much in advance.

- I would use 2.4 GHz for your guest network. It's supported by all devices. Use WPA2-AES. It's the most secure encryption method. The guest network by default will only have Internet access. There is a setting to change it, but don't touch it.

- Thank you!!! So do I just leave the default checked box alone and not check any other boxes?Does it give you the option to make a password for the guest user? and in the future, can I diable and enable the guest user?Thanks so much again!! So helpful :)Alvina
