SBR-AC1750: Unsecured Wireless Setup (Guest Network)

How do I setup a guest network for unsecured wireless connection on my SBR-AC1750?

The SBR-AC1750 also allows for a wireless guest network (in addition to a wireless primary network).  The guest network provides access to the Internet, but prevents devices from communicating with primary wireless and wired connected client devices.  

The SBR-AC1750 supports 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi frequencies simultaneously.  Each frequency has it's own SSID (Service Set Identification), which is the name given to the wireless network of the SBR-AC1750.  The 2.4 GHz frequency supports 802.11 b/g/n wireless clients, while the 5.0 GHz frequency supports 802.11n wireless clients only.  802.11n devices will generally perform better in the 5GHz range.

The guest network is disabled by default.  This document describes how to enable the guest network without wireless security. 

CAUTION: With this setup, the wireless functionality of the SBR-AC1750 will provide no encryption for the wireless guest network.
