EA4500 - Filter Guest Network Access

Is there a way to filter guest network to restrict what services they can access? Support won't email me back.

Guest Network is designed for devices that you do not want to have access with the devices connected to the main network.
What services are you referring to for guest network users to get restricted? You might want to check the link below.

Cascading EA4500s and Guest Network access

Hi, I hope esomone can help me here. I've got two EA4500 routers connected via ethernet. The primary router has DHCP enabled and the secondary has it disabled. IP address of primary is 192.168.1.1 and the secondary is 192.168.1.2.
I have set up guest access on both routers however only the primary router allows users to connect. When out of range of the primary router but in range of the secondary router the network is visible but when you try to connect to it, it only gives limited or no connectivity message and can't connect to the internet.
Is it possible for the guest network access to follow the same pattern as the secure network, i.e. the same network throughout the house?
Regards
Jon

Cascading two routers should have correct parameters set. For instance, the Ethernet port of the secondary router should be connected to the ethernet port of the primary one, and the DHCP should be disabled on the second router. The ip address you've set are correct for the both routers. This thing shoud be done if the connection is LAN to LAN.
By the way there are two types of cascading: Click here for info!
For the Guest Network:
Guest Network would only work if the the DHCP is enabled on your router. It means to say that on the type of setup you're doing which is LAN to LAN (DHCP disabled on the second router), Guest network would not work on the secondary router. If the connection is LAN to WAN, then both of the router should have Guest Network working.

Airport Extreme 802.11AC + 5th Gen and guest network access

I have the current gen Airport Extreme 802.11AC with a 5th Gen extending the network. With this setup, I am unable to login using our guest network setup. I have tried using guest network with a password and one without but its the same results. When a guest logins, it stuck attempting to login with no error messages.
So is it possible to have this configuration and still have guest network access?

Please review what I said originally.......that the guest network function on the AirPort Extreme is designed to work with a simple modem......so the AirPort acts as the main router for the network..
Another way of saying the same thing is that the AirPort needs to be "in charge" of your network for the guest feature to work correctly. The AirPort cannot be in charge if it is connected to another device that is already configured to be the main router on your network.....your Actiontec modem/router.
The Actiontec device combines the functions of a separate modem and a separate router in one package. This type of device is known as a modem/router, or also known as a gateway.
Some folks call a modem/router or a gateway......a modem. So, things can get confusing.
I do not know if it is possible for the Actiontec device that you have to be configured to act as a simple modem.....so the routing functions of the device are completely turned off. (Turning off the wireless on the Actiotec does not turn off the routing function).
If you turn off the wireless on the Actionec, it becomes a modem and a wired router. And that wired router is still in charge of your network.
The guest network feature will not work correctly unless the AirPort is in charge of your network.
My suggestion was for you to ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP), if they could supply you with a simple modem. That is all that you need. You don't need two routers....and the Actiontec that you have now is not allowing the guest feature to work correctly.

Guest Network Access via Lan Port

I bought two of the new Apple Airport Expresses and have the Wireless working just great. I have the second one as an extender also working just as I need it to work. But is there a way to use the LAN port on either of the the units (either the Primary Access Point or the Extended one) to allow someone to connect their computer or other device via hardwire but join as a Guest Participant (so they're segregated from the rest of the network)?
Or is there a way I can connect the device to the LAN port, assign it an IP Address and then use some of the advanced tools to block it from everything else on the network except for using the internet?

No, sorry but the Guest Network cannot be extended either by wireless or Ethernet.
is there a way I can connect the device to the LAN port, assign it an IP Address and then use some of the advanced tools to block it from everything else on the network except for using the internet?
No, this is not possible with the AirPort routers.

Guest Network access

Hello,
Im trying to setup access for our guests to go out a specific interface/ISP
We have our main connection to our datacenter.
We also have a little SAT Receiver that we get internet from (10MB).
I want a specific vlan to go out ONLY to that SAT Receiver connection. Here is my setup:
Guest Network
vlan 216
name WIFI-Guests
SAT Receiver
interface Vlan70
ip address 192.168.151.2 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan216
description Guest WIFI
ip address 10.2.16.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.2.1.26
Can this be done via vrf, and how? Or is there an easier way?
Thanks...

Just noticed that you are using an ip helper-address which means you won't be able to use a VRF effectively as your guest network needs access to the vlan with the DHCP server in it.
Assuming you want to keep DHCP for this network on the DHCP server then probably PBR is better ie.
access-list 101 permit udp any any eq bootps log
access-list 102 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
route-map PBR permit 10
match ip address 101
route-map PBR permit 20
match ip address 102
set ip next-hop
int vlan 216
ip policy route-map PBR
note that with the above the first acl has to allow DHCP to get through to the DHCP server. Normally with PBR you would simply use just the one acl eg.
access-list 101 deny udp any any eq bootps
access-list 101 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
but with the 3750 (and some other switches) if you use deny lines in the acl this can cause CPU issues on the switch. So a different acl is used for each PBR entry. The first PBR permit entry uses acl 101 and simply matches DHCP traffic and does nothing so it is routed normally. The second PBR permit statement uses acl 102 and matches all other traffic ie. internet and sends it to the SAT device.
Also worth saying that all traffic is sent to the SAT device but you should also apply an acl on the SVI for vlan 216 to stop traffic from vlan 216 clients to other vlans. The PBR would send this to the SAT device anyway but the SAT device might then route it back to the switch which you don't want. So your acl would look like -
access-list 103 permit udp any any eq bootps
access-list 103 deny ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255
etc. for each internal subnet
access-list 103 permit ip 10.2.16.0 0.0.0.255 any
int vlan 216
ip access-group 103 in
Hope all that makes sense. If not please come back with any questions you have.

E3000 guest network access problems

Hi,
I have the E3000 router and am using an Engenious repeater. I only turn on the repeater when I'm playing PS3 because it boosts the signal dramatically. However, if someone in my house is connected to the boosted network when I'm using the PS3 I get horrible lag on my PS3. Yesterday I tried connecting the laptop to my guest network while my PS3 was connected to the boosted network, and it worked great. Now, however, I'm unable to connect to the guest network on my laptop. It takes 2 minutes to identify the network and then when it connects it says no internet access. I have the Cisco connect software installed on the laptop. When i run the windows 7 network troubleshoot it detects a problem with the network adapter and says it resolved the problem, but really it just connects me to my main wireless signal and not the guest one.
Thanks in advance for any help

Guest network is unsecured wireless network and it works on 2.4 GHz wireless band.
If you are able to connect to the main network then I think there should not be any problem to connect to the guest network.
The main network has the IP address in the range of 192.168.1.xxx whereas guest network works on 192.168.33.xxx IP address. You have installed the Cisco connect software on your laptop. I think your laptop might be trying to connect to the main wireless network automatically.
You can try upgrading the firmware on your router and see if that makes any difference.

EA3500 - Guest Network Access

Help! Took me 10 years to get another wireless router in my home, because last time, It wasn't secured and people were practically parking in my driveway to use it. Anyway, I have a guest network - unsecured. how the heck do I change it to secured, or eliminate the guest network all together?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

By default the guest network will show unsecured on the available wireless network but in reality it is not really unsecured because once you are connected to the wireless network and you attempt to get online then it will now ask for the guest access password. You have two options on how to configure the guest access password on your router, either by using CCC or the classic ui. If you are using CCC, just access the router’s ui then click on guest access. From there, you will have the options to enable/disable guest access or change the password. If you are using the classic ui, once again access the router’s ui then click on wireless>guest access and from there you will also have the option to to enable/disable guest access or change the password.

How to setup 24 hours guest network access with Time Capsule 4th gen. ?

Hello,
I just bought a Time Capsule 2TB and I cannot find the setting to limit the network access to 24 hours.
I updated the firmware and Airport Utility to the latest version and it seems that most of help on this setting I fond on internat are based on previous version.
By example I do not have a "Manual setting" in the "Base Station" menu like described in the manual.
Can someone help on this ?
Thank you and Regards,
Sebastien

Suggest that you download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion. It will have the settings that you are looking for.
You can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you need.

Guest Network access issue on Apple Airport Extreme 802.11AC router and Actiontec MI424WR Rev.1

I contacted Apple because I am not able to create any guest Network on my Airport Extreme because I was told that my modem needs to be simple. Per Apple: "The Guest Network feature will not operate correctly unless your "main" AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem........not a modem/router (such as the Actiontec MI424WR Rev.1) or gateway type of device that is often furnished by Internet Service Providers to their customers."
So is it possible to make this version of Actiontec a simple modem. Is this even possible or will I need a new modem?
NOTE: I disabled the wireless functionality of the actiontec.

Do you have FiOS TV ? You can completely bridge the ActionTec or take it out of the equation entirely if you don't have TV to worry about. Or, you can make the Apple router your primary and put the ActionTec behind it, with the trade-off that things like Remote DVR and Caller ID on TV won't work the best.

E4200 guest network access restrictions

I have the E4200 router with fw v1.0.01.
I need to provide guest access and limit the hours it is available.
I am not able to use access restrictions because when I attempt to enter the range of IP addresses it forces me to use 192.168.1 and the guest subnet is 192.168.33, therefore it never gets a match when the cutoff time comes. I do not know the MAC addresses of the guests and cannot force them to use predefined static IP addresses, so the range of addresses seems to be my only option. It's just that it won't let me input the "33" where it is needed.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding something or perhaps there is some other way to accomplish this.
Please advise.
Thank you,
-Marty

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure you're right, at least it looks that way. That's a little too open for me. I suppose I could change the config when I want to cut off access, it would just be nice to have it automated.

ASA 5510 Guest Internet Access

I have a subnet for guest network access, both wired and wireless. We have a Netgear ProSafe that is trunked to a Cisco 2901 performing 'Router-on-a-Stick'. For most internal traffic, it all stays behind the ASA. But for guest traffic, I have a route-map that sets the next-hop address as the outside interface of the ASA. The question is, how can I still permit those users to access our internal DNS servers? Do I need any particular NAT translations, exemptions, DNS doctoring, hairpinning, etc.? I have an ACL on the inside interface that permits traffic from the guest networks to our internal DNS servers, and then the next ACL line denies any other traffic from the guest networks to any of our internal networks.
Regards,
Scott

Hello Scott,
Your ASA will need to have a route for both networks
You also will need the following command:
-same-security-traffic permit intra-interface
The thing is that the packets from the guest vlan will go directly to the ASA as its default gateway, then packets will be routed to the Router on stick and finally to the DNS server, the reply will go from the DNS to the Router on stick and then directly to the Guest user.
Nat exemption will look like this:
access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 host 192.168.11.6
access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.14.0 255.255.255.0 host 192.168.11.4
nat (inside) 0 access-list nonat
Please give it a try, also please provide packet tracer
packet-tracer input inside udp 192.168.14.10 1025 192.168.11.4 53

Julio

E3000 Guest Network

Does anyone know if the E-Series Routers (E3000 in particular) has a timeout for the Guest Network access? I can't find any documentation about this. When I test it, it I access the guest network, close my browsers, logout, restart, etc, etc and still can access the internet through the guest network without having to authenticate again.
Basically what I'm trying to accomplish is I want guests to able to access the internet when they are in the office, but I would only want them to have access for the day or for a few hours and then they have to re-enter the password. I know if they have the password already, they can just re-enter it, but I would still like to force guests to Re-Authenticate again.

Guest network is unsecured and anyone can connect to the wireless network. But when you open the Internet browser it will ask you for the guest password.
I don't think there is any time out for Guest network access.
When you connect to the main wireless network, your computer will save the password for the main network. next time it will connect to the main network automatically without asking for the password.
I think this is how the Guest network might also be working.

Guest networking features on Linksys routers?

Do any of Linksys routers have the recently popular guest network access feature where you can create a password protected or no password secondary network that provides internet-only access to guests and prevents them from accessing your main network (computers, printers, HDDs etc?). Does Linksys's highest end WRT610N have a similar feature that works slightly differently but does the same thing?

Peanuts,
It really doesn't answer our question. I want file and printer sharing enabled on my netwrok and I do not know what their work group is (they are guest) besides Windows Vista and Windows7 see computers in other workgroups with no problems. So with file and printer sharing enabled on my home network and wireless guest loging into the gust access on the router can they ever see the home computers.
The computers connected to the guest network will NOT be able to see the computers connected to your home network. Just like what VALETLINKSYS said, the guest network is using another IP range which is 192.168..33.xxx which is totally different from the IP range of the home network - 192.168.1.x.

Scheduling Network downtime of guest network

Is it possible to schedule the Time Capsule to shut down it's guest network access at certain times throughout the day - i.e. homework time. Would like to keep the kids off their ipod touches during homework times. Trying to avoid manual shut down because I will always forget or not be available. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I'm not sure if this works with the guest network, but you might look into the Time Capsule's access control features. In AirPort Utility look at the AirPort panel, Access Control tab. Set the "MAC Address Access Control" list to "Timed Access", then add each device and declare its permitted access times. To identify the MAC addresses, pull down the "Base Station" menu, select "Logs and Statistics", then choose the "DHCP Clients" tab.

Extend Guest Network

My apologies if this has been asked before. I've searched the forum and I can't find any particular posts which explicitly states that this cannot be done.
I have an early 2009 Time Capsule(500GB) which is my main wireless AP which is connected to my Cable Modem. I have set up the Guest Network Access and it is working flawlessly. However there are some major blindspots on the ground floor of my house so I just recently bought an Airport Extreme to extend the network off the TC wirelessly.
As expected my network reception throughout the house is now excellent however it seems that the Guest Network wasn't extended. Is this by design or is it due to my configuration? I really want to extend the guest network as well or else my guests will have to go all the way up to the 2nd floor at least to access my network.

If it is not a bother may I know why this is not possible? Is it due to technology constraints or due to Apple's own decision?
Apple has not provided a lot of detail surrounding the design of their Guest network option on the new AirPorts & Time Capsules. It is believed to be an implementation of VLAN technology ... with (currently) limited administration offerings.
If you have a requirement to provide isolated wireless networks, you would have to look at another vendor's solutions to do so. One example would be the Cisco RVS4000 which provides L2 switching capability.
