Answer | The SBG6950AC2 allows for a guest Wi-Fi network (in addition to the primary Wi-Fi network). The guest Wi-Fi network provides access to the Internet, but prevents devices from communicating with the primary Wi-Fi and wired connected client devices. Â
The SBG6950AC2 broadcasts two different guest Wi-Fi networks independently over the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Â 2.4 GHz devices can only connect to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, and newer devices that support 5 GHz can connect to either the 2.4 Ghz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. Â The Guest Wi-Fi networks are limited to 32 users and disabled by default. Â This document describes how to setup the Guest Wi-Fi network.
