Configuring a Guest Network on a Dedicated Access Point
To configure an access point dedicated to guest access, you do not have to set up VLANs. All you have to
do is configure the Welcome screen as described in “Configuring the Welcome Screen (Captive Portal)” on

Using the Guest Network
Once the captive portal is enabled on an access point that does not use VLANs, a client can access the
guest network as follows:
1. A guest client enters an area of coverage and scans for wireless networks.
2. The guest network advertises itself via a Internal SSID.
3. The guest chooses Internal SSID.
4. The guest starts a Web browser and receives a Guest Welcome screen.
5. The Guest Welcome Screen provides a button for the guest to click to continue.
