By default, the VLAN ID assigned to the management interface for your access point is 1, which is also the default untagged VLAN ID. If the management VLAN ID is the same as the VLAN ID assigned to your wireless network, then the wireless clients associated with this specific wireless network can administer this device. If needed, an access control list (ACL) can be created to disable administration from wireless clients.

Use Captive Portal to set up a guest network, which means that wireless users need to be authenticated before they can access the Internet. For example, a hotel can create a guest network to redirect new wireless users to a page for authentication.
Do you want to create your guest network now?
Yes
No, thanks.
