Linksys E4200 Wireless > Guest Access The Guest Access feature allows you to provide guests visiting your home with Internet access via wireless. The guest network is a wireless network separate from your local network. The Guest Access feature does not provide access to the local network and its resources, so your guests will not have access to your computers or personal data. For example, the guest computer cannot print to a printer on the local network or copy files to a computer on the local network. This helps minimize exposure of your local network. For example, in the diagram ("Local Access and Guest Access Diagram" on page 18), the local network includes the wired network and the local wireless network, which is represented by yellow waves between the router and the wireless printer in the office and the notebook in the bedroom. The Guest Access feature is represented by the purple waves between the router and the notebook in the living room.
