Create a guest network on your ZyXEL Modem to securely share internet access with others.

Not available in Quebec

A guest network is a secondary network that provides secure internet access for your guests. This network can have a different password from your main network. Devices connected to the guest network will be able to access the internet, but not other shared files, printers, network storage, etc.

Guest Network Setup ( ZyXEL VSG-1432)

To set up or modify your guest network, you will have to log into your modem. In order to do so, type in 192.168.1.254 into the address bar of your web browser.

Use the username and password fields at the top right of the page to log in. The username is
admin
 and the password is
telus
 unless you have changed the default settings. If you have previously changed the default settings and can’t remember your password, you will have to
restore your business router to default settings
.

Once you're logged in, click on the
Wireless
tab at the top.

On the
wireless settings page
, select the
Additional WLANs
tab.

Then, click on the icon under
Modify
on the right side of the page on the same line as Guest1 SSID.

On this page, you will be able to enable and customize your guest network settings.
