Setting up guest access on your TP-Link EAP670 can enhance your network security by allowing visitors to access the internet without accessing your main network. This guide provides a quick and straightforward method to configure guest access.
Prerequisites

Step-by-Step Guide to Enable Guest Access
Step 1: Log Into the EAP670 Web Interface
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your EAP670 device. Log in using your administrator username and password.
Step 2: Navigate to the Wireless Settings
In the dashboard, go to the Wireless section. Find the SSID you want to configure for guest access or create a new one.
Step 3: Create a Guest Network
If creating a new SSID, click on Add or Create New. Enter a name like Guest WiFi and set the security type to WPA2 or WPA3. Set a strong password.
Step 4: Enable Guest Network Isolation
