Chapter 10: Configuring Security
Guest Network
If you select None (Plain-text) as your security mode, no further options are config-
urable on the AP. This security mode can be useful during initial network configura-
tion or for problem solving, but it is not recommended for regular use on the Internal 
network because it is not secure.
10.2.3  
Guest Network 
Setting security to “None (Plain-text)” is the only mode in which you can run the 
Guest network, which is by definition an easily accessible, unsecure LAN always 
virtually or physically separated from any sensitive information on the Internal 
LAN. For example, the guest network might simply provide internet and printer 
access for day visitors.
The absence of security on the Guest AP is designed to make it as easy as possible 
for guests to get a connection without having to program any security settings in 
their clients.
For a minimum level of protection on a guest network, you can choose to suppress 
(prohibit) the broadcast of the SSID (network name) to discourage client stations 
from automatically discovering your access point. (See also “Does Prohibiting The 
Broadcast SSID Enhance Security?” on page 98).
