How can I turn on my HUAWEI router's Guest Wi-Fi

Guest Wi-Fi can be enabled for visiting guests to use independently. When Guest Wi-Fi is enabled, your router will provide both host and guest Wi-Fi networks, and these networks will operate independently. Guests will be able to use your Guest Wi-Fi to go online, but will be unable to manage or change settings on your router, and will also be unable to access your home network devices. Guest Wi-Fi can effectively protect your online security and privacy.

 
  • The devices that connect to the Guest Wi-Fi are isolated from each other, so the Screen projection is not supported under the Guest Wi-Fi.
  • When multi-router Networking, only the main router supports Guest Wi-Fi.

Method 1: Using AI Life App

  1. Connect your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open the AI Life App, touch the corresponding router to access the router management screen.
  3. Then go to Show more > Guest Wi-Fi (or go to Network > Guest Wi-Fi directly).
  4. Turn on the Guest Wi-Fi button, you can set the Wi-Fi name, whether to set the Wi-Fi password, Duration and Speed limit.

Method 2: Using the web-based management page

1. Connect your computer/phone to the router's Wi-Fi (check the nameplate at the bottom of the router for the default Wi-Fi name, no password) , or connect the computer to the router's LAN port using an Ethernet cable. Open your Internet browser. Enter the default IP address in your browser address bar to access the web-based management page(check the nameplate at the bottom of the router for the default IP address).
 
  • For routers that feature self-adaptive ports, you do not need to distinguish between WAN and LAN ports.
  • If you are connecting your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network, switch your phone's webpage to the PC-based UI before performing the following operations.

2. Go to More Functions > Wi-Fi Settings > Guest Wi-Fi to enter the Guest Wi-Fi settings page. Guest Wi-Fi can be enabled and disabled according to your preferences. You can also set Guest Wi-Fi network name, password, and the length of time you would like Guest Wi-Fi to remain enabled for.

(The figures are for reference only. The actual UI may vary.)

Your guests will be able to get online by connecting their wireless devices to the Guest Wi-Fi network.

  • From your router's web-based management page, you can limit the speed of any device in the Manage Device page, including the devices from your Guest network.
  • If you need to set a more precise time, you can first select a time such as 4 hours or 1 day as a starting point. You can then adjust the length of time guest Wi-Fi is enabled for by using the Delay 30 min option as many times as required.
