Guest Wifi is the best way to give your visitors internet access while keeping network resources like shared folders, printers, and NAS devices secure.
Security Note: You should only share a QR code for guest networks. If your guests log on to the primary network with a compromised or malware-infected device, the virus can spread to your work/home devices connected to WiFi.
