Create a guest network (Actiontec V1000H/V2000H)

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.

If you have the Actiontec V1000H/V2000H Modem, you can create a guest network.

To set up or modify your guest network, you need to log into your modem by entering 192.168.1.254 into the address ar of your web browser.

To log in to your modem, find the admin login information located on the sticker on the side of the modem. Enter the information in the username and password fields at the top right of the page.

Note: If you have previously changed the default settings and can’t remember your password, you will have to reset your router to default settings.

Once you have logged in, select the Wireless Setup tab at the top.

You will now be able to enable and customize your guest network settings.
