Wi‑Fi guest networks done right

Separate guests from production without making the lobby password a company secret.

By Michael NarehoodNetworking

Guest Wi‑Fi should be easy for visitors and useless for reaching file servers.

Baseline

  • Separate SSID and VLAN from corporate
  • Client isolation on
  • Captive portal or rotating PSK if you need accountability

Avoid

  • Giving guests the corporate PSK “just for today”
  • Bridging IoT, cameras, and guests onto the same flat network

Office IoT

Printers and TVs often need their own segmented network, not the guest VLAN and not the domain VLAN.

We design practical network segmentation for small offices. Ask Qutzl.
