Create a guest network (ZyXEL)

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

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.
