Configure Guest Network Settings for TP-Link

The Guest Network Access allows you to share your home or office network by providing a secure Wi-Fi access.  You can enable the guest network when you have the visitors in your apartment, house or workplace.  To ensure the security and privacy of your main network, you can set the different access options for the guests' network users.

The following are the steps that needed to follow to configure the guest network settings.

•             First of all, open the web browser and enter the web address http://tplinkwifi.net or http //tplinkap.net/ in the address bar menu.  Login the web management page by filling the required login details. 

•             After login, you can go to the Guest Network.

•             You can set either or both bands guest network for dual-band routers.  To enable this function you have to check “Guest Network(2.4G)” or “Guest network (5G)” and after that, you can set the Guest Network’s Security and SSID.  The WPA/WPA2-Personal and Disable Wireless Security are the two available security types.  You are recommended to select WPA/WPA2-Personnel as the security type.  Then you have to type in the Wireless password according to your will.  Click the “Save” to save the changes that you made to the settings.

Configuring the Access time of your Guest clients

To control the Access Time there is a single rule.

•             Time Out: In this method, you can input the limited number of periods that the Guest clients can use to access the internet.  The connection of the Guest clients will drop automatically when their time has reached the configured value.  The clients can reconnect using another Timeout period if they want to.  In order to make sure that the Schedule will take effect, you need to check whether the time settings are correct or not.
