When you are with your friends and family, do you have to pass on the WiFi password by word of mouth? It’s not safe!

When you are with your friends and family, do you have to pass on the WiFi password by word of mouth? It’s not safe!

It's Chinese New Year! The Year of the Ox is here and we are full of joy! During the Chinese New Year, when visiting relatives and friends, they often ask for the WiFi password at home. Smartphones and tablets are now inseparable from these devices in our work and life. Going online through wireless networks has become a mainstream form of entertainment. Even if you are at someone else's house, it's very frustrating if you can't connect to the wireless network.


You can safely connect to your home WiFi without entering a password

It would be too troublesome to tell everyone the password, and the devices in everyone's hands may not be safe, which would pollute the intranet. In this case, why not try the "Guest Network" function of the router? Learning how to use it will not only make it more convenient for visiting relatives and friends to surf the Internet, but also ensure the user's own network security. How to set up such a practical function? We will teach you this convenient and practical Internet skill right away.


Guest network supports dual-band simultaneous activation

In fact, many wireless routers that we rarely pay attention to after installation have the function of "Guest Network" or "Guest Network". We just need to open the browser and enter "http://192.168.x.1" in the browser address bar (the backend management address of different router models is slightly different, please distinguish it by yourself). Then, find the "Guest Network" function in the management backend of the router and set it up.

Afterwards, we can personalize the network name (SSID) of the guest network to facilitate friends and relatives to find it. It is necessary to set a highly recognizable name. For the convenience of use, the general guest network is usually run in an open state, so that friends and relatives do not have to enter the wireless password to connect. Because the intranet cannot be accessed, the security level is greatly improved. If you find that a friend or relative you do not know is connected to your guest network, don't forget to force it to disconnect.

Have you learned this simple and practical skill? When friends and relatives come to your home, you will no longer have to repeat the name and password of the wireless network many times and feel dry in your mouth!
