My current router allows for settupin up for a guest account, does this router allow for a guest account?
653551
Yes. All Netgear Routers allow a guest account. The only difference is this Router is twice as strong as your N or G Router...
653552
Yes is does just make sure you get Netgear Genie installed with the hardware. Its a software that comes with it and works well to fully customize your router and its properties
397576
Yes, but you may have to configure it differently if it's not the main router on your network.

Yes. It is part of the configuration. I can't remember exactly where, but once you are logged onto the device, there is a checkbox for disabling the Wi-Fi. I would think you would prefer to just buy another router. It's easier and faster and maybe more secure.

Yes, its a router, and very budget friendly for its use.... just set it up from your modem with name and password. Instructions listed.

Yes (sort of). Depending on the exact model number (and there are a number of variations available in the marketplace) you can in fact create a guest network that will NOT allow "intranet" access or access to the main internal wired & wireless networks established. Asus has a listing of the models that come equiped with this feature. Mine has it.

Yes, I use that router with this table. The table comes with the correct plate to attach the router

I've never used it that way, but I believe it will not work. That RJ-45 is intended as a physical LAN interface and it will not accept a default route via another router accessible through it.

Yes through the netgear net genie software that is built into the router when u install it. Also you can go to the IP address for the router and adjust there

No, they are not. This is a sore spot with me. I worked with tech support a long time and they finally told me it's NOT supported in AP mode, only router mode. I ended up hanging an old AP off the DMZ of my firewall port for guest access and use the AC66U as my main AP for the wireless devices in the home. Other than that, the device seems decent enough. I have a USB hard drive hanging off it to share DLNA stuff, but also do this via GoogleTV box too. Lots of options these days.

The guest network is a nice feature as you can operate it, with or without a password, for guests completely separately from the network you are using for your own devices. Setting up a guest network is optional, but if you do set one up, it is better to use password protection for it. Your instruction book instructs you to register your router at www.netgear.com . On page 5 of your instructions, it gives you a website for logging in to your router's account (routerlogin.com or routerlogin.net). In your instruction book, the default user id and password are provided for your first login. Once in your account (the NETGEAR Genie), it is best to change the default password. Your account screen is divided into categories both by list and by icon. One of the icons is called "Guest Access". Hitting Guest Access will bring you to the place in your account where you can 1) enable a guest network which will probably be called "NetGuest"; 2) select the level of encryption that you want for your guest network (normally the shorter of the two choices); and 3) set up a password to protect the use of the guest network (if you don't set a password then anyone within range can use it). Once you have done this then you can go into your admin icon and change your login password for your account. The guest network will show up when a device searches for a Wi-Fi network. It should show up as "NetGuest" and, if you added a password, the Wi-Fi choice will also show a closed padlock to show that you need a password to use that network. If you have a guest, you can give them that password, but you will have your separate password access to the main part of your network. The guest will not have access to that. The guest network will probably operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency while most of your devices will be operating on the 5.0 GHz frequency. It's pretty easy to set up as long as you get to the right place in your NETGEAR genie online account. Hope that helps.

You can set a regular and guest SSID individually for each AP you manage and for each radio. If you go into the AP configuration, you can override the SSID for each radio for normal and Guest.

The router only acts as an extension of your existing router. It should automatically connect exactly the same way it connects to your current router. It just extends the network with the same user name and password.

Yes, I believe it can be.. I use it to increase my Wi-Fi network in my living room so that the internet is faster on my Smart TV but the Wireless N shows up as a separate network when I view network connections on my PC. It is secure so if other's in the area were to see it on their network they would not be able to connect to it. So you could plug it in your guest room, set it up as it's own separate network settings, complete with it's own password.
2128569
Yes. Once setup, it creates its own private network. You also need consider that the room needs an available Ethernet (with active internet) port for the router to work.
2061595
Yes, I believe at least one of the included firmware versions had provisions for guest networks.

I had to set this up on our guest network which used a different security profile (WPA used instead of WPA2). This seemed to make it work, but I haven't tried to connect again on the WPA2 network.

Yes, it will work. In the previous reply are the settings that you need to setup in order to use this router. Best regards.
