How to set up a Guest Network for Halo

A Guest Network allows visitors in your home to use the internet without needing to connect to your private network. Wireless devices connected to a Guest network have no access to resources shared on the Main network, so the security and privacy of the Main network are guaranteed.

Note:

1. When Halo works in the Router mode, the Guest network and Main network are isolated.

2. When Halo works in the AP mode, on the Mercusys app > More > Wi-Fi settings > Guest network, there is an "Isolated From Main Network" switch once the Guest network is enabled, and it can be used to control whether to isolate the Guest network and the Main network.

3. Features available in Halo may vary by model and software version. All steps and images described here are only examples and may not reflect your actual Halo experience.

Here, we take Halo H80X as an example.

1. Open the MERCUSYS App, go to More > Wi-Fi, then turn on the Guest Network button.

Note: If you leave the security type and password fields blank, the Guest Network will not require a password to connect.
