Setting up Guest Access on your Belkin router

Guest Access is a feature on your Belkin router that allows your guests to connect to your Wi-Fi without having access to your shared files, printer and other devices in your network.

Follow the steps below to know how to configure the Guest Access of your Belkin router using the web-based setup page. To proceed, you will need the following:

Step 2:

Open a web browser like Internet Explorer®.
