Hello
so, I would like to setup a hidden guest network, for security and limitation reasons.
I would like to setup a qr code for guests to scan to join the network, but if they come back after leaving, I would like them to rescan the qr code. I want to do this so I can keep control of my network as before I had someone basically piggy backing on my network before upgrading my router from my isp. It has made me want just my home devices on my network, and guests on a guest network but I don’t want my neighbour to connect to it, leave for work, come back still being connected.
why was my neighbour on my network in the first place? Well I live in a area where there is military equipment, I assume for secret reasons about 5ft further down towards the road, all network (mobile network) is a dead zone, although this could be due to pylons I am not sure which. So, my neighbours wifi is poor compared to mine (range and speed) that they needed access to mine before covid for some reason I can’t remember, and every so often I notice that their phone is connected to mine.
now, I know I can block them, but other people who come here I would like them to ask to connect and allow them access, like my sisters, both need to access my internet for work, but don’t want them coming round to just watch films etc, I would like them to be apart of family time, not phone time, since covid I didn’t see my sisters for some 15 months as they are both front line workers.
so, I want a hidden guest network, that guests scan a qr code to connect to if needing my internet, else have poor speeds on networks and we can have family time.
is this something that is possible to do?
