Guest Wi-Fi Router Feature for Business Customers
What is Guest Wi-Fi?
Guest Wi-Fi is a feature of your Verizon FiOS Quantum Gateway Router. Sharing a single
FiOS Internet connection, you can use the router to create a separate network for your
customers, clients, staff, contractors or other guests to access the internet from their
wireless devices.
You can provide your guests their own Secure Session Identification (SSID) or network
name which allows them to connect to your Guest Wi-Fi network. Guest Wi-Fi is a
different network with a different password from your main business network. This
means devices connected to the guest network will not be able to access computers,
files, and printers connected to the main business network. Guest Wi-Fi helps to keep
your organization’s internal information private while allowing your guests to access the
Internet.
Why Create a Guest Network?
You can offer your customers and visitors the convenience of temporary Internet
access by creating a Guest Network that is separate from your main network. The Guest
network feature can also be used to create a secondary business network for Internet
access by employees or contractors without permitting access to business data and
devices on your main business network. There are a few important considerations when
deciding whether to offer your own Guest Wi-Fi.
Important Points to Consider
As the terms governing your Verizon Internet service specify http://business.verizon.
com/tosupdates, you cannot resell or charge others for access and you are solely
responsible for all third party use of your service. You should therefore limit access only
to your authorized guests, staff and visitors and prevent access by other businesses and
unauthorized persons. The Verizon router’s Guest Wi-Fi feature can help your business
more effectively manage access to your networks but only you can decide what’s

appropriate and manageable for your business. Depending on the type of business
and usage anticipated, you may want to consult with an IT or network advisor before
allowing public access. If your business chooses to offer Guest Wi-Fi, you may not use
any Verizon names or brands to describe, promote or advertise your offering. Please
remember that use of your service by your guests must also comply with Verizon’s terms
including its Acceptable Use Policy. So, make sure guests accept and are informed of
their obligations as well as Verizon’s rights to monitor all usage for compliance. You
can download or print a copy of our Acceptable Use policy at business.verizon.com/
acceptableusepolicy.
Your Guest Network shares the bandwidth of a single Internet connection and while
it can support multiple devices, the usage over your Guest Network can affect the
bandwidth available to your main business network.
For more information about the FiOS Quantum Router, including how to use parental
controls to restrict sites that your guests can access, please refer to the FiOS Quantum
Gateway User Guide by visiting verizon.com/bizfiosquantumgateway.

Setting up Guest Wi-Fi for the First Time
SSID and Password
Verizon’s FiOS Quantum Gateway is shipped from the factory with the randomly
selected default Guest Wi-Fi SSID (Secure Session ID). The default Guest Wi-Fi SSID
can be located under the Guest Wi-Fi settings in the router interface (shown below).
It is recommended that your Guest Wi-Fi SSID be customized to something that your
customers and clients will readily recognize (For example “YourBusinessName-Guest”).
Any changes made to the primary SSID will not have any impact on the Guest SSID. To
change the default guest SSID the user will have to go to the guest SSID settings and
manually change the guest SSID (See Changing your SSID and/or Password – Page 9).
Step 1: Select “Edit” to change your Guest Wi-Fi SSID.
