guest network

Separate visitor connection

A guest network is a separate wireless network that provides internet access to visitors without giving them access to your main network or connected devices.

Most home routers can create one: I put all the smart home devices on the guest network.

It's a basic security measure—guests can check email without seeing your shared files or printers.
