How to setup the guest network just access internet only (not touch in internal server)

I had setup the AirPort Extreme in basic and guest network, but observed the guest can access to our server currently, for the security issue, we can setup the guest network to access internet only? pleae advice and thanks

By default, a properly configured Guest network on the AirPort Extreme only allows network clients to access the Internet. No access to the "main" network's resources should be available.
This is assuming that the AirPort Extreme is the only or "main" router in your current network configuration.

How do I configure Guest network to access ethernet wired printer?

I have a wired/wireless network with a new dual band AEBS. The AEBS is connected to a Cisco router, which in turn sends it's connections to various wall-plates in our home. One HP 4110 printer is wired via it's ethernet port, one Mac Mini (OS 10.6.2) is hard wired also. The dual band AEBS 5 GHz network is used for our newer laptops, and the 2.4 GHz network is used for a G3 Firewire PowerBook (now don't make fun... it was the best there was at one time) running OS 10.4.11.
The PowerBook cannot access the printer that is hard wired via ethernet cable to the network. How do I get the PowerBook on the "Guest" network to access the printer?
I tried searching these discussions, but can't find an answer to my specific issue. Any help is appreciated.

Since you have a simultaneous dual-band AEBS, why not connect your PowerBook G3 to the non-Guest 2.4 GHz network created?
Can I take an AEBS that is a couple of years older (I have a couple of the flying saucers around here somewhere), wire that to an available ethernet port on the LAN, and then connect the older PowerBook G3 to that older AEBS wirelessly?
Sure
If so, will that arrangement slow down the entire system?
No
If that won't work, and I connect the PowerBook G3 directly to an ethernet port, will that slow down the other wireless computers?
Yes you can connect your PowerBook G3 via Ethernet. That would have no effect on the wireless computers.

How to setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1

How do I setup a guest network when the dialogue boxes do not show up in AirPort Utility 6.1?
I see screenshots where there are boxes to 'enable' guest network but these simply do not apear on the Wireless tab in AirPort Utility

I now have a guest account, thanks to you!
I did the factory reset and was able to set up the guest account.
There were 3 problems, all of which I was able to solve.
The first problem was connect to Ethernet, which I selected by WAN port, as shown in the first screen shot. This page used to read just Ethernet and the Bridge Mode.
The second problem was whether to share a range of addresses or share a public IP address. I selected share a public IP address as shown in the first screen shot. I had tried the range of IP addresses in my earlier attempts, the ones that failed. Hopefully this will have no effect.
I have forgotten what the third problem was - only excuse is a few too many flavored drinks. I didn't have any problems solving it though.
What is really weird is I can log on to Guest and use on my iPad (first generation), my wife's iPod Touch (third generation), and my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. I can't log onto Guest on my 2008 iMac, even after a restart. I get the image below.
Since I don't lug my iMac around a lot and it is connected by Ethernet, while my little make it right brain says figure this out, I am not going to worry about it.
Thank you again for your time and patience in helping me solve this.

How to setup a guest network on an airport extreme?

I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

I just bought the new airport extreme and I havent been able to find the prompt that allows me to create a guest wifi network.
The article that hanuolaohu posted is interesting, but it never tells you that the AirPort Extreme must be connected to a simple modem to allow the Guest Network feature to be enabled.
If you have a "gateway" or "modem/router" device, this acts as another router on the network....not as a simple modem...so the Guest Network tab will not appear when you try to setup the device.
So, first we need to check on the device that you call your "modem". What is the make and model number of this device?

Where is the "Guest Network" Setup?

All,
I picked up a new Airport Extreme (AE) from our local Apple store this afternoon. I have been wanting to move our Drobo to a shared USB port, as well as have the option for a "Guest Network". We have lots of Geek buddies and relatives over on the weekends and evenings and I have never liked giving them access to our wireless network, and all that has to offer.
Out of the box, to completely setup (except for the guest network) including sharing the Drobo, Bridging to our FIOS Router, and re-configuring our primary wireless network took less than 20 minutes. (I was VERY impressed) And the network is really quick!
With that said, I can not find anywhere to setup the guest network???? There is no tab, Icon or option under any of the settings in the Airport Utility.
What am I missing here?
Please help!

o AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > AirPort > Guest Network
The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) must be configured to "Share a public IP address" for this tab to appear in the AirPort Utility.

How can I have different access control for the guest network (different than the main network)?

I am trying to control my main wireless network with access control via mac id with no password. I wanted a separate guest network with password access and no access control. However, the only way that the guest network works is if I specify unlimited access as the default. Is what I am trying to do possible.

I am trying to control my main wireless network with access control via mac id with no password.
Definitely not a recommended method for security. MAC addresses are easily cloned by anyone who wants to do so with free tools available on the Internet. An unwanted guest will be on your network in less than a minute if they want to be.
Strongly recommend that you use WPA2 Personal security with a non-dictionary password to protect your network.

Unfortunately, Apple does not allow separate Access Control for the "main" and "guest" networks. It's all or nothing, I am afraid.
Likely, the "best" way to set up Access Control is change the default rule to No Access, Then you will need to enter in the details for every device that you want to allow to connect for both the "main" and "guest" networks with the time limits for each device.

Kids are using the WiFi all night long and not sleeping... How can I temporarily turn off the WiFi at night using the Airport Extream or Airport Utility? I must keep the guest network up as I have a tenant in an apartment over my garage using that.

My kids are up all night streaming Netflix and using the WiFi on their iPads and Apple TV. The next day they don't want to get up and go to school. Is there a way I can set up a separate access point for just the kids in AirPort Extreme and then turn that one off when i go to bed? Or somehow turn off the main network when I go to bed, without having to reconfigure the entire router the next day, and then simply turn it back on the next morning? I have to keep the Guest Network up as I have a paying tenant living in an apartment over my garage that uses that network.
In the event it's not possible with the AirPort Extreme, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can configure the AirPort Extreme for Timed Access using the AirPort Utility. Basically what you are doing is restricting the time of a wireless device by its MAC address has access to the base station's wireless network.
To access this feature: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Network tab > Enable Access Control: Timed Access Control...

How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.

Thank you Maksim,
I did set the "selectionMode" to "Auto". I don't understand where In supply function I have to set lead selection of nested node to first element. Please elaborate on this. Are you talking about the context attribute bound to the second table? OR do I have to change the Importing parameters "Node" and "Parent_Element" of my supply function?
Thanks for your time.

How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

Sorry, but Apple does not allow the Guest Network to be extended in any way.

How can I use Guest network when my internal server provides the DNS?

How can I use guest network when my internal server provides the DNS? The help article TS4505 tells me to enter an external DNS server, but I believe I can not configure my network that way...

Apple assumes that you will be connecting the Time Capsule to a simple modem....and.....that the Time Capsule is configured as a router to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network.
The Guest Network cannot be enabled correctly unless the Time Capsule is in charge of DHCP and NAT services on the network.
Another way of saying the same thing is that the Guest Network will not operate correctly if the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode or DHCP Only.

How to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP?

Can anyone tell me how to setup the Airport Extreme for PSP? I have been searching the Discussions but none of the posting seems to explain detail enough. A step by step guide would be very appreciated. Thanks.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Sorry, I forgot to mention a few points:
1) I don't have the Airport Extreme base station;
2) My PowerBook is connect to the internet thru wired connection with the Built-in Ethernet;
3) The Airport is turned on, but my PSP's scan cannot locate the PowerBook at all (while it find someone else's network)
So, I wonder if I can just connect my PSP to the built-in Airport in the PowerBook directly. So that I can have internet access on my PSP.
