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!

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.

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

Where did the "Guest Network" go?

Running 5.6 AirPort, no longer a tab to select.

That is not a valid setup. That is not router mode.. if you want TC to have guest network it must be in router mode.
When you do that, guest network will appear.

Trying to set up a wireless guest network using Airport base station. The first network setup was fine but the second one doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I purchased the new Airport base station that allows for a wireless setup of a primary network and a guest network. The primary network installation worked great but I cannot get the guest network to work properly. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

The AirPort base station is designed to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device that is often furnished to users by Internet Service Providers.
So, the first troubleshooting question would be to find out what the make and model of the device that you call your "modem" might be.....to see if you have the right kind of product that will allow the Guest Network to operate correctly.

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.

HT4145 Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

Does the new Airport Extreme allow "guest network" setup across all my Airports on my network? I have 1 Airport as a router and 6 others as WAP's (bridged)

I assume that all of your WAPs are hard wired on the network.
If.....all of your WAPs are simultaneous dual band Apple AirPort devices like an AirPort Extreme or new AirPort Express.....and.....you have firmware version 7.6.3 (now 7.6.4) installed on all the AirPorts.....and.....you use AirPort Utility 6.3.1 to configure the devices......in theory.....it should work.
I don't have 6 WAPs, but I do have 3 and the network works perfectly allowing extension of both the "main" and "guest" network.

How to get rid of the guest network on E1000

Is there a way to get rid of the guest network on a E1000 or is it part of the setup.

Hello Burns1214 ,
I posted an answer here http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Enable-quot-Guest-Access-quot-on-E1000-Router/m-p.... You can only disable it thru Cisco Connect software.

ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

We have tried a few android devices with version 4.2+ but still got the error message ‘Unable to download profile.(Have you logged into the guest portal?)’ as shown at the bottom picture.
In fact, we are connecting the devices to an open SSID which performs MAC filtering, then redirect to CWA and login with AD credentials,
then redirect to Google play store and can successfully download the network setup assistant.
Could you please advise the possible reasons that would cause this error message and make ISE cannot push the profile to the cisco network setup assistant?

Here's a snipit from the Android spw.log. I see that there is an error trying to verify the hostname. Is it possible that this is caused by a non-trusted certificate? I'm using the self-signed cert built into ISE. I have an entry in the public DNS for guest.domain.com that resolves to the IP of my ISE server accessible from the guest subnet. I'm allowing all traffic from the guest VLAN to the ISE vlan on the firewall and all traffic to/from the ISE server in the provisioning ACL I have applied by ISE on the WLC during native supplicant provisioning. I know that guests can communicate with the ISE server since regular guest portal redirection works, just not the network setup assistant. I've renamed the domain to domain.com in this snipit.

Extending the guest network

For some reason, the guest network from my Dual Band AirPort Extreme does not show up in the list of networks on my wireless N AirPort Express. The private network shows up. Can I not extend the guest network.
To go one step further, I don't suppose the express could extend both the private and guest networks. You would probably need two for that right?

I have a similar need. Two business customers want to make wireless access available over the entire area of their operation without letting users gain access to their internal network. As has been said by everyone on all the posts I've been on that we can surely extend the Main SSID network but not the guest. Bob Timmons has responded in other posts that this is not possible at this time and that it is not a feature enabled by APPLE. The only solution these customers have is to obtain another IP address from their provider and install a second router on that network. Not quite as elegant as Apple's Airport Extreme where you can monitor both networks from one login.

Guest Network Setup

I have a Linksys EA4500 setup on my corporate network for wireless access. I have enabled the guest network and from all I can tell it's on a seperate subnet from my internal network like it should be. 192.168.x.x My internal is on a 10.x.x.x network. I conenct to the guest network using a laptop and I'm prompted for a password to get to the internet, which I like. The one issue I'm seeing is when I'm connected to the guest network I can still do an RDP session to internal resources. How is this possible if the guest network is on a seperate subnet?
I take a laptop which has not been joined to my domain, connect to the guest ssid, and then open an RPD session and enter an IP address for an internal server and it connects. Is there a setting to keep this from happening?

this might be something you have to do. by design the Guest Network should only allow internet access and with it being a "virtual network", should prevent communication with other computers in the network.

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.

My new iphone4 connected to the internet fine at the store today, but will not connect to my wifi at home - it sees the guest network, but does not give me a place to enter the password

I just got a new iphone 4 (my first one) and the internet worked great at the store, as well as in the parking lot at the grocery store on the way home - yes I was playing with it! Anyway, now that I'm home and the store is closed, it won't connect to my home wifi. It sees the guest network, but it doesn't give me place to put in the password, so I'm not sure if that's why it won't work. Also, I don't know what settings to put in for the screen that comes after the network choice screen - it has IP Addresses with DHCP, BootP, and Statis (I don't know what any of these are or mean!) It also has a 'renew lease' button that I have no idea what to do with, and it has a section with HTTP proxy that is highlighted "off" but also has 'manual' and 'auto' options - maybe these are not set correctly?
Very frustrating that there is no manual, and the website doesn't really help with this at all. Thanks so much!

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

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

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.

Does or will the Airport Extreme be able to share the Guest network to a Ethernet port?

Did not know if there was or possibly will be the ability to seperate ethernet ports to make a hardwired guest network?

Sorry, not possible to extend the Guest Network using either wireless or Ethernet.
You might want to let Apple know on any new features that you want to see.

Can I use the guest network on a AE connected to a Cisco RV180?

I have not been able to connect to the guest network on my AE with a Cisco RV180 as the gateway. I read in an older post that the guest network my not work on all equipment, that it must be connected to a "simple" modem. Just want to find out if the Cisco is compatable.

The AirPort Express does need to connect to a simple modem in order for the Guest Network feature to work correctly.
According to Cisco the RV180 is a VPN Router, so it would not be compatible with the AirPort Express for the purpose that you ask about.
