What is Guest Wi-Fi and how can I set this up?

A guest network uses a different SSID from the wireless network that you and your employees access. It's explicitly designed to provide visitors with Internet access while keeping your main Wi-Fi network separate and secure.

The management route is the same on both the Mercku M2 and the Mercku M6.

For the Mercku app:

1. Open the Mercku app on your device
2. Select Settings > Guest Wi-Fi
3. Enable “Guest Wi-Fi”

For the Mercku portal:

1. Visit http://mywifi.mercku.tech, and log in using your Router Admin Password 
2. Select Settings > Select Guest Wi-Fi> Click the toggle to enable Guest Wi-Fi 

Once Guest Wi-Fi is enabled, you will be able to create an isolated SSID from your own network will be able to set the following functions: 

• Active Time: you can put a limit to the amount of time the guest wi-fi is active
• Wi-Fi name: personalize the name of your guest wi-fi network
• Encryption: no password entry required if ‘Open’ is selected. Choose ‘WPA, WPA2, WPA/WPA2, WPA3(M6 applicable)’ to set a Wi-Fi password for your guest network.
• Smart Connect: can be enabled for your guest network.
