How to Create a Guest Wi-Fi Network for Visitors or Customers

A different Wi-Fi name does not by itself isolate guests. Look for a documented guest-network feature with separation from your private LAN. Do not assume a Starlink band-split option creates a guest network; it separates radio bands, not ownership or access.

If your current Starlink router does not expose a supported guest-network control, use a compatible third-party router or access point with documented isolation. Follow its exact instructions rather than looking for a universal Starlink guest menu.

1. Keep your owner network and management password separate from guest credentials.
2. In the selected router's administration interface, create or enable its Guest network and give it a clear name.
3. Enable the documented option that blocks access to the private/local network. Decide whether guests should also be isolated from one another.
4. Apply security supported by your guests' devices and use a unique password.
5. Save the configuration and connect a test device to the guest network.

If a third-party router becomes your network gateway, follow the bypass guide. If it is an access point behind Starlink, verify that guest isolation still works in that operating mode; some products limit it.

Confirm that the guest device can browse the internet. Then try to reach a private printer, storage device or management page that should be blocked. Confirm an owner device can still use those resources. Failed discovery alone is not proof of isolation; use the manufacturer's documented test and a known reachable service.

For a rental or business, keep the password and support contact on a guest card. Recheck isolation after configuration changes and do not share account administrator credentials with visitors.
