Title: Guest WiFi?
Post by: XpAcErX on July 30, 2011, 11:52:34 AM

I put in a password for the guest WiFi but it seems that i can connect without one.  Is there another setting I'm missing?  how can i protect this WiFi from people out side?

What hardware version do you have? Maybe this is something they added later?

I have A2 running 1.22NA and I can't see that feature anywhere. On the tools page (http://192.168.0.1/Tools/Admin.shtml) (I assume Tools>ADMIN?) I have a place for Admin Password and User Password, but the user password is for a secondary user to log into the router. Not a second wireless. Am I missing something here? I thought I knew this router pretty well. ::puzzled::

I realize what was going on.  I recently bought the DAP-1525 wifi booster and it has a guest zone which automatically made a dlink_guest.  Since I connected it via WPS I never really checked the settings on it.  So when I saw my dlink_guest pop up I thought i needed to put a password on it from tools > admin.  after going through the settings on the DAP-1525 i put security on the guest wifi.  Sorry for the confusion I just got this booster 2 days ago and I am not to familiar with it yet.

so far so good. I bought the dap-1525 because the dgl-4500 had poor wifi range or maybe penetration compared to my dgl-4300.  I only live in a 1600 sqft town home but the weakest signal i get now is -70 dBm and that's out on my front porch so I'm happy.
