Yes — enabling a guest network is recommended if you want to provide Wi-Fi access to visitors while keeping your internal network secure.

A guest network allows you to:

  • Isolate guest clients from your internal LAN
  • Prevent communication between guest devices (Layer 2 isolation)
  • Apply separate security and bandwidth policies

To set it up, simply enable “Guest Network” in the SSID settings.
For additional security or user control, you can also enable a captive portal for authentication.
