E4200 Guest access without password

With the E4200, is it possible to setup the main SSID with a passpharse but have the guest SSID without a passpharse or password (ie access without security). If so, How?

Theres no way to remove the guest password without disabling the guest network.. Best is to make it simple like "guest" or "1234".

  • E3000 - Guest access without password

    Hi,
    I just installed a new E3000 wireless router and it works fine.
    But i'd like to give my guests Internet access without having to enter a password.
    I know how to change the -guest password but it requires a 4 digit minimum password.
    Is there a way to remove it ?
    Thanks
    Solved!

    No. There's no way you can remove it. The least you can do is to make the password simpler like 1234 or something.

  • Ssh access without password

    How do set up ssh access without password? I follow the steps below but didn't work:
    1. ssh-keygen -t rsa
    2. copy the id_rsa.pub to the remote host and rename it to authenticated_keys
    3. ssh-agent $SHELL
    4. ssh-add
    5. try testing:
    ssh <remote host> date
    It still prompt for the password. Did I miss out some steps? Pls help if you know the asnwer.

    May be you need to look sshd.conf (or like) file and edit it. If that does not solve the problem, you may need to consider .shost file as in casr of rcp and rlogin you configure .rhosts file.

  • IPhone5 can access guest network without password

    I have just finished setting up the Cisco Valet M20 and tried to access the "guest network" using password. All devices connected to "guest network" were taken to a login screen for a password. All except the iPhone5. The phone was able to have connect wirelessly without having to go to the login screen and enter the guest password. I have tried changing "guest network's" password and resetting the network configuration of my iPhone5, still the same result.  My laptop, iPad and andriod phone did go  through the login screen for password. Is there a fix to this problem? 

    Since other wireless devices were working thru the guest network as they should, I believe it has something to do with the IPhone5. How about you try this workaround: disable the guest network, turn the M20 off for 10-15 seconds, once you power it back on, access the cisco connect software again and enable the guest network. On your iphone, try to reset the network settings again then try to connect to the guest network.

  • E4200 guest access won't ask for pasword

    Hi whenever i enable guest access, when connecting though any device it doesn't ask for password but allows access straight away. I've tried changing the password, but no luck. Any ideas?

    yep... The guest network comes out as "Unsecured" but you need to obtain the Guest network password for you to be able to browse the internet.

  • Remove guest access without using 'cisco connect'

    Hi all,
    I just installed a new Linksys E3000 and was able to use "Cisco Connect" up until I decided to forgo the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" and use manual settings.
    Well, after having done this, I can no longer use Cisco connect, and I really want to get rid of the additional "-guest" network which seems to be tagged onto my main network.  Is there anywhere via the browser-based admin that I can get rid of the guest access feature?  If there is, I can't seem to find it.
    I tried switching back to the  "Wi-Fi Protected Setup"  feature so I could go back to using connect, however it no longer seems to see my router when I try to connect to it, so this is no longer an option for me.  I'd really like to avoid reinstalling the router all over again.
    thanks for any info.

    If you have configured your Router using the Cisco Connect software, then you it secure your wireless network with an password. If you have any firewall and antivurs software on your router then it will protect your computers against worms.
    To use the FTP feature of your router you need to enable ftp login on your router, which you will find under the storage tab of your router.

  • ISE - Guest Access (without portal)

    Hi Guys,
    I have a customer who current is using the cwa portal for guest access. Corporate use will be added in the future sometime next year.
    Kit involved:
    5508 - Internal (Inside Net)
    5508 - Anchor (DMZ Net)
    ISE - Inside Net
    3600 APs
    Presently, guest user connects, anchored to DMZ 5508, issued IP address from server in DMZ and DNS redirect to the web portal from same server. guest logs in and internet access through ASA and then content filtering box.
    They want a solution whereby they do not have to use the portal for corporate user with their own devices such as ipads. I know BYOD is a possiblity but would involve using a CA server on the inside of the network. This is not something I'm keen as it opens a channel from the guest network directly to their AD infrastructure.
    I'm leaning toward PEAP authentication atm using a GoDaddy SSL cert that is already installed. This would bypass the portal system and only involve client devices being configured once.
    Is there any other option that would be simple to setup as this is on a limited timescale ?
    Cheers,
    Nick

    If you are referring to supplicant provisioning, the scep enrollment request is proxied from ISE and the private key and cert is transferred to the endpoint. This doesnt require your guest network having direct access to AD....just to ISE.

  • E4200 Guest Access to Printer?

    The Guest Access is a very nice feature for allowing us to provide Internet access in our rental unit.
    However, it would be nice to provide the Guests access to the USB printer.   
    Is there a way to provide access to the USB printer for those who are logged into the "Guest Network"?

    Nope... Guest network provides internet access only and there's no way computers in the guest network can communicate with other computers within the guest network as well.

  • E4200 : Guest Access : No IP-address on cascade routers

    configuration :
    2 E4200 wireless routers.
    LAN-LAN connected through a cable.
    router 1 is connected to internet and has DHCP enabled.
    router 2 is NOT connected to the internet and has DHCP disabled.
    wireless is enabled on both of them with the same SSID.
    guest account/access is both enabled on them.
    this works :
    laptop connects at normal WIFI on router 1 --> internet works (IP: 192.168.1.150)
    laptop connects at normal WIFI on router 2 --> internet works (IP: 192.168.1.150)
    laptop connects at Guest WIFI on router 1 --> internet works (after login screen in Internet Explorer)  (IP: 192.168.33.108)
    this does NOT work
    laptop connects at Guest WIFI on router 2 --> internet does NOT works
                       --> laptop does not get an IP-address
    when I connect to normal Wifi on router 2, I get an IPaddress from the DHCP on router 1
    But when I do the same with the GUEST WIFI on router 2 it does not ask an IP-address at Router 1
    anyone ideas????
    thanks

    can you please tell me.
    what IP address you are getting
    on the laptop which is connected to the guest network
    through the 2nd router and what is the range of the ip address.

  • Kids now gaining access without password?

    On my other authorized (kids)computer, it suddenly stopped asking for my account name and password. They are now able to purchase music without asking me first to enter my password. Any idea how to restore that request?

    Hi Soccer Mom -
    The most effective way to monitor your kids' purchases is to change your password and use the Shopping Cart option.
    Here's the general idea. Your kids add music and videos they're interested in buying to the Shopping Cart. When you're ready to review the list with them and purchase titles, you sign in using your username and password and purchase the titles you agree are appropriate.
    Don't give your kids access to your password, since this can let them purchase unchecked...
    If you're not interested in reviewing your kids' selections before you buy, you might also consider giving them an allowance or a Music Card. In both of these situations, your kids would need to have separate accounts. Because these accounts would have credit from a Music Card or an allowance, you wouldn't need to enter a credit card in the set up process.
    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • HT5509 Guided Access Without Password Locks Phone, now way out?

    I inadvertantly enabled guided access and am unable to get out of it.
    When prompted for the initial password, I pressed Cancel instead of entering a password.  It enabled guided access and wants a password to disable it. 
    I tried to connect and run an app via xcode and it went to home screen but then said the phone was Disabled.  Now even a triple-click won't get the guided access to prompt for a password.
    Update: sorry, searched before I was in the group, found the answer afterwards..
    Hold power and home button for 10 seconds to power-off phone, should be undone when it comes back on.

    I'm curious. What is it about this forum, focussed on a now-discontinued productivity application named "AppleWorks", that attracts so many questions like this one, totally unconnected with that application?
    I'd appreciate an answer to that. Meantime, I've requested a transfer of the question to a more appropriate community.

  • E4200 - Configure guest access

    In my neighborhood, people generally allow open WiFi access to each other. The "guest access" feature of this router sounded good - you can allow guests to access the internet, without allowing them access to your own computer's transmissions. However, annoyingly, there is no way to configure guest access without a password. You can change the password, but guests have to come see you and ask you what the password is. No freedom to configure the router the way I want. Sending it back for a refund.

    Well, if you have configured the router manually or even with the Cisco Connect you cannot disable the open security mode for the guest network. A password will have to be entered after launching a web browser.
    The secured mode of the Guest Network cannot be disabled and will always require your guests to enter a password through a web browser. The prompt will appear everytime guests connect. This is to prevent unauthorized Internet access.

  • Guest Access for Windows Services

    Hi,
    I need to access my shared files through a "Guest" access, without a password. I understand it is not a safe way to work, but I do not have a choice : I am using a device named mediagate, which is supposed to be able to read the shared files on my computer, and this device can only connect to my computer using a "Guest" access.
    I understand OS X server could do that (refering to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.4/en/c4wn14.html), but I am using OS X tiger 10.4.4 workstation. Is there anyway for me to do that ? Otherwise, the mediagate I bough is totally useless...
    Thanks for your help !

  • E4200 Bridge Mode + Guest Access?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up my E4200 in "Bridge Mode," but want to enable a few things in the wireless settings, such as:
    a) choosing SSIDs and network keys,
    b) enable Guest Access
    I've been able to get things working without too much hassle:
    * factory reset
    * set wireless SSIDs and network keys
    * enable guess access and set password
    * turn on bridge mode
    Everything is basically fine, except that when the device goes into bridge mode it seems that it shuts off *all* web UI. This kind of makes sense, but do I actually understand that correcty? (Or have I simply not found the right connection method?)
    If so, it leads to a couple follow-on questions:
    a) How do I disable Bridge Mode if I want to change any settings? (Is the answer just 'factory reset'?)
    b) Can Guest Access mode work in Bridge Mode?
    So far, I have not been successful in getting the device to display the login page for Guest Access. I'm not sure if that's a config problem with Guest Access or if that just doesn't work in Bridge Mode.
    Any tips/advice appreciated.
    thx

    It's not possible to use guest access in bridge mode. Guest access is only possible when the E4200 operates as router. In bridge mode any wireless network goes directly into the same LAN. Guest separation would not be possible.
    Also don't disable the SSID broadcast.
    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/E4200-Guest-Network-Not-Working/td-p/406345/highl...
    What I'm saying is that it is possible and that I am doing just that on our LAN here at work.
    You pegged me on the linksys devices not allowing higher subnets. Alas, I am used to using DD-WRT and Tomato for years now (where you can use any subnet mask) and took for granted that I have not seen a stock linksys GUI in a long time. However, in bridge mode on the E4200 you are able to set subnet masks as you wish...

  • E4200 Wireless Guest Access issue

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have the wireless guest access set up in my E4200 flash to the latest firmware. 
    When I connect to the wireless guest network it comes up under the 192.168.33.xx IP address. I can connect fine but it never pops up the browser so that you can type in the guest password. I'm running Windows 7 but I've also noticed the exact same problem under XP.
    The only thing I can guess is the problem is that I have this acting like an access point and all DHCP requests go to my router. I've basically turned off DHCP on this and plugged the network connection into the switch on the back. 
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Josh

    If I go to 192.168.33.1 it does pop up the browser but when I enter the password It just hangs. Not sure if it was connected or not. Is there no way to pop up the browser automatically?
