Can this device be used to create separate "guest" wifi?

Yes, I believe it can be.. I use it to increase my Wi-Fi network in my living room so that the internet is faster on my Smart TV but the Wireless N shows up as a separate network when I view network connections on my PC. It is secure so if other's in the area were to see it on their network they would not be able to connect to it. So you could plug it in your guest room, set it up as it's own separate network settings, complete with it's own password.

You have two options to do this, set it up as an access point by wiring it to your existing router, or just set it as a repeater and give it a different password

Enthusiastically, yes, this has a guest network option - and in general the services available from this wifi box are pretty equal to what you'd get from much more expensive boxes.

No, You can make it in a bridge mode with a different SSID on the same network.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you set one up as the ap and the other two as client bridges, it should work. Only issue will be line of sight and direction, so if you have line of sight, and they are all in the same general direction, you should be good to go. You also have the ability to broadcast four different ssid's.

I would assume so. This device is essentially acting like a switch on the network. Once its connected, anything you plug into it should pull an address from the DHCP service. Although if they're already accessible wirelessly, why buy this?

yes, there is one ethernet port on the device for putting it on your network. the wifi access point needs to be connected to some other switch or router that's already on the network.

It should be simple. The utility helps you set it up for users that don't know how to navigate the router directly. I would not recommend to enable the guest account /login. That part can be confusing and difficult for guest users.

Both, but only one at a time. You can use it for quite a few different things. In the software on the device you can set it as a AP or bridge (Point2Point) or a Wireless to ethernet bridge as well. Check out ubnt.com and read the fact sheet on it. It should have better details.

I'm pretty sure that the guest network(s) is/are kept separate from your private network. If I remember correctly, the only thing that can be done from the guest networks is access the internet.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

depends, if used on a windows system, yes. if you use a linux distro, you could turn the system into an access point with this device and receive wifi clients (and if that box has Internet on another network device, pass it through this device).

Gavin, I don't think so. I don't remember seeing a guest option and when I search on the word "guest" in the manual, it is not found. You can find a link to the manual here - http://www.asus.com/Networking/EAN66/HelpDesk_Manual/.

Yes, under the default DD-WRT firmware you can setup a guest network pretty easily. Their support is pretty good at helping if you need it, although sometimes you get someone who is clueless, so you need to hang-up and call back.

ehternet hub, switch, router...as long as the device is in the same subnet or there are proper ACL's in place to make it happen between subnets, it'll work as well.

Depends on how you configure it. You can setup a separate SSID so you'll know which device you are connected to, or use the same SSID for all your wifi broadcasting. It doesn't make it a separate network...it's all part of one big net, although there are ways to isolate these devices, but why would you want to do that?

Yes, this is exactly my primary use case. The router allows to select the hotel wifi, enter login/password, and then shares the internet via its own wifi connection. The only router'a MAC-address is visible by hotel.

The cisco connect software has an easy setup for your Guest account. http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E1000/downloads
