how do I set up the guest network?

The guest network is easy to configure through the administrative screen (a web page provided by the device) or through the mobile Netgear Genie app

There's a section in the admin web site that lets you do that. I have not tried it yet, but the instructions seem simple enough.

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.

All the connecting points are easy to access, connecting it should not be a problem. I'm not very savy at setting up stuff like that, but I was able to connect & use mine within minutes. I hope this helps.

Make sure you're using proper case. I believe the directions refer to name "Admin" and password "admin". Nice video on U-tube walks you through set-up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9V4w9mtViQ

Gavin, I don't think so. I don't remember seeing a guest option and when I search on the word "guest" in the manual, it is not found. You can find a link to the manual here - http://www.asus.com/Networking/EAN66/HelpDesk_Manual/.

I do not have experience with Mac, but regarding the manual for this device it is not necessery.The manual shows how you can configuring any options of the Hoo-Too Wireless-N using web browser.To do it you need to type in the browser address box: http://192.168.10.253After that the login window appears and you can set the default User name ("admin") and default password ("admin" too).After that the configuration window appears and you can set up this device.The color miniature manual from the box of package has 18 pages concise instruction.

I have attached to local LAN. Have not tried to use it this way. We have secure local LAN

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.

Go to the settings mode and go to join networks & click yes. If it ask for a password put it in

I dont see how its possible, it seems as the cisco gui doesnt allow to import any sort of policy script or document. This device can provide guest network and can configure allotted time and bandwidth restriction on the guest network and only one guest network.

It is fairly easy to set it up. You can follow their printed material really easily, and then it goes to the CD/Website for their software setup. Just have a pen and paper handy to write down your LAN name and passwords. It took me all of 20 minutes to set mine up; 3 computers, 2 Android Tablets, 2 Android Smartphones, my video surveillance system and my Guest Server. The range is SUPER!

To get up to speed (i have some network experience setting up my home lan) I purchased the Dlink 931 here for a little over $30. Made it work with my synology NAS. Had it email me screen shots and videos. Used an android app(ip web cam) to turn my tablet into a wireless ip cmaera and made it work with my NAS and tablet. Anyways there are inexpensive ways to get up to speed and get the experience to setup your own security system. At least you will discover if its within your ability or worth the time required. Good luck.

It does have a guest mode. But moreover, this scale can be used by up to 4 users (with saved profiles).

I didn't set it up yet but according to their instructions look like you log onto their server and login using a name you've created sorry not much help
