Guest Network DHCP

Hi All,

 

Here's my situation, I have installed 5 Cisco Linksys EA2700 wireless routers in a cascade fashion off of my main switch throughout the building. I have turned off DHCP and NAT since I have a DHCP server assigning IP's. Basically I'm using them as Access Points.

and they are working well!

Now, I would like to advertise the guest network.

When I enable the guest network on one of the routers I do see the SSID. But I cannot connect to the network. It doesn't even prompt me for a password. From my reading it is supposed to give me a 192.168.33.x address, but I don't think it is serving out IP's

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: Guest Network DHCP

In order for the Guest network to work, you must have DHCP enabled on that router.

Re: Guest Network DHCP

Yes, I agree with sabretooth, DHCP must be enabled.

Re: Guest Network DHCP

you will be prompted for the guest network password when you open a web browser. once you entered the correct password, your device will then be assigned an IP address to access the Internet.
