The SBG6782 also allows for a wireless guest network (in addition to a wireless primary network). The guest network provides access to the Internet but prevents devices from communicating with primary wireless and wired-connected client devices. The guest network also includes UPnP and Firewall functionality.
The SBG6782 supports 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi frequencies simultaneously. Each frequency has its own SSID (Service Set Identification), which is the name given to the wireless network of the SBG6782. The 2.4 GHz frequency supports 802.11 b/g/n wireless clients, while the 5.0 GHz frequency supports 802.11n wireless clients only. 802.11n devices will generally perform better in the 5GHz range.
The Guest Network is disabled by default. This document describes how to enable the guest network, and how to configure the guest network without wireless security.Â
WARNING:Â With this setup, the wireless functionality of the SBG6782 will provide no encryption for the wireless guest network.
NOTE: This feature is not available for units that have been purchased or leased from Time Warner.
