Setting up guest networking on the Velop Axe8400 enhances your network security by creating a separate access point for visitors. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to configure guest Wi-Fi easily and efficiently.
Access the Velop App
Begin by opening the Velop app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure your device is connected to your Velop network. Log in with your administrator credentials if prompted.
Navigate to Network Settings
Once logged in, tap on the ‘Settings’ icon usually located at the bottom right corner of the app. From the menu, select ‘Wi-Fi Settings’ or ‘Network Settings’ depending on your app version.
Create a Guest Network
Within the network settings, find the option labeled ‘Guest Network’ or ‘Guest Wi-Fi.’ Tap on it to begin configuration. Enable the guest network toggle if it is not already active.
Configure Network Details
Assign a name (SSID) for your guest network, such as Guest Wi-Fi. Set a strong password to prevent unauthorized access. Choose the security protocol, typically WPA2 or WPA3, for optimal security.
Set Access Restrictions
To enhance security, configure access restrictions for the guest network. Limit bandwidth, disable access to local network devices, or set time limits if these options are available in your app.
Save and Test the Guest Network
After entering all necessary details, tap ‘Save’ or ‘Apply’ to activate the guest network. Connect a device to the new network using the SSID and password you set. Verify internet access and ensure local network devices remain secure.
Additional Tips
- Regularly update your Velop firmware to ensure security patches are applied.
- Change the guest network password periodically for added security.
- Disable the guest network when not in use to prevent unauthorized access.
By following these steps, you can effectively set up a secure guest network on your Velop Axe8400, providing safe internet access for visitors without compromising your main network security.
