Can I create a guest wifi login?
If so how?
Unfortunately you can do so right now! The web GUI and admin functionality of the 5G modem is severely limited. WYSIWYG. I have asked support, and submitted lots of suggestions. However, many voices get things done, I would recommend that you call and voice a suggestion/compliant that you want more robust admin functions for the LOCAL side of the network on that modem.
Just about every other ISP and their modems have these features; not sure why they were turned on the T-Mobile modem.
TECHNICALLY, this is NO a guest network! Please be careful with this feature. This is just an ADDITIONAL SSID, not a guest network. The private IP (DHCP) network range is same network as any other SSID that you choose.
A guest network is a DMZ networkor completely separate IP subnet, where people connected to your wireless network can not access devices on your private network, BUT have access to the internet. This feature used in this fashion will provide a false sense of privacy, especially if you make the network password weak or guessable, as those doing war-driving or scanning for wireless networks can break into and then use that as a bridge to attempt to attack devices or snoop on your network for sensitive data.
