Answer | The G18/G20 Guest Wi-Fi is disabled by default and two guest Wi-Fi networks broadcast independently over the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. The Guest Wi-Fi network names (also known as SSID) and Wi-Fi passwords are only available in the Web Manager. When enabled the Wi-Fi clients will need the Guest Wi-Fi credentials located in the G18/G20 Web Manager to connect to the Guest Wi-Fi network. This document describes how to retrieve the Guest Wi-Fi name and password in the Web Manager.Â
