Why do I need separate network configurations for private and public use?

This depends on the amount of traffic that you anticipate your network to handle. If you have a storefront, it’s generally a good idea to have separate networks—one for the public and the other for private office use.

Separating guests from business networks will allow you to:

• Continue business operations without getting affected by customers who take up a lot of bandwidth due to downloading or video streaming
• Apply special settings to each Wifi service network (e.g. limit customer use)
• Stay secure, as the public (especially hackers) won’t have access to your internal network
