If customers, visitors or contractors use the same Wi-Fi as your business computers, anything they connect is on the same network as your files, printers and payment devices. A guest network keeps them apart.
What a guest network does
It's a second Wi-Fi name with its own password. Devices on it can reach the internet, but not your business computers, printers or file storage.
Who should use it
- Customers and visitors
- Staff's personal phones
- Smart TVs, speakers and other gadgets
- Contractors working on site
Good habits
- Give the guest network its own password, separate from the business one
- Change the business Wi-Fi password when someone leaves
- Don't print the business password on the wall
- Keep payment terminals and point-of-sale devices on the business side, or on their own network
Most business routers can do this; some older or provider-supplied ones can't. We can set it up, or tell you what you'd need.
