RBK50 WiFi networking

[kevinNG]

I just bought a pair RBK50 router for my home network (currently using 100Mb/s). I would like to open the Guest network for my friends, and intend to limit the WiFi bandwith 6Mb/s. Can I setup a guest network with limited browsing speed?

So far you can only enable Guest wifi. You can't set bandwidth.

Be careful. The "guest network" devices are not isolated and can touch the devices that are not on the guest network.

oh...thank you for your reminder!

[kevinNG]

so...should i open the guest wifi for visitors?

Do you have guests whom you don't trust on your wifi?

[kevinNG]

Yes...actually I am a host of a hostel so I want to restrict the guest WiFi network

My concern is more for errant devices than errant users. I wish to keep the attack surface small to minimize threats. The strong rise of the IoT is leading to more malevolent (and flaky) devices that use Wi-Fi. Even devices that are fine today could be co-opted tomorrow. If I do not see a need for them to have access to local devices on my LAN, I would much prefer that they could not have any access.

Thank you for your comment.

You may want to look into a more business class wifi system that has more management features and allows or more granular configurations with connected client devices.
