Question

How do I disable the Guest Wi-Fi network?

Answer

NOTE: This article applies to the SURFboard Wi-Fi Cable Modems (G18, G20, G34, G36, G54, SBG8300).

The Gateway's Guest Wi-Fi is disabled by default (enabled by default on the SBG8300). The Guest Wi-Fi network names (also known as SSID) and Wi-Fi passwords are available in the SURFboard Central app when the Guest Wi-Fi network is enabled. This document describes how to disable the Guest Wi-Fi network in the SURFboard Central app.
