What is Guest Network Pro?
ASUS Guest Network Pro is an enhanced version of the Guest Network, allowing you to create multiple independent networks and VLAN combinations. It enables different access permissions, bandwidth management, and content filtering for each network, and even includes a dedicated network for IoT devices. This provides you with an efficient, secure, and easy-to-manage networking solution.
Why We Need Guest Network?
When you have successfully set up a wireless router and connected to the Internet, and want to share the WiFi with your family and friends, you can create an independent wireless network environment through the guest network.
For example: provide guests with a different WiFi name and password from your original WiFi, to prevent guests from browsing data shared on your network and increase the security of your network connection.
Note:
1. Adding a Guest Network Pro also creates a new VLAN network.
2. Guest Network Pro is supported on WiFi7 ROG series models and select WiFi 6 models.
3. This feature requires upgrading your ASUS router to firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_34312 or above.
