@TMAR14 In MySwisscom -> Your Products -> Internet, you can see the ID and password of your visitor wifi. If your device is wifi capable you can enter both (Name and Password) there. But the guest Wi-Fi runs on the 2.4 GHz band. If you need more, the guest WiFi will not work.

Why would you want to do this?

I want to give a guest , who is using the "guest wifi" , access to certain devices connected to the network .

for example the printer or the heating device, to adopt the temparture.

this is both possble when using the "main" WiFi, but not when on the Guest WiFi.

i know there a routers where one can authorise access for WiFi Guest users, but couldn't find any settings in the Intenet Box 3

I don't know if the inter-device communication is allowed on Guest WiFi. This is something to check.

@TMAR14 Hello

It is not possible to integrate a guest from the guest network into your main Wi-Fi network. The guest network is exclusively for individuals at your place who want to connect to the internet independently of your personal network. The two networks are separate.

I meant 2 devices that are both in Guest WiFi.

I understood that he wants to put all the devices the “guest” needs to have access to in the Guest WiFi.

Dear Bitracer, thanks for your input

I did not meant  2 devices that are in the Guest Network, but devices/addresses that are in the "router's" network, but not available to the Guest Wifi . Due to protection of the network, Guest Wifi does standard not allow Guest Wifi users to access devices in the network, logic.

but for certain devices like a printer it would be also logical that users can access those selected devices.

Some routers allow to add access permission to individual devices in a netwerk for Guest Wifi users, by configurating  the permission to be accessed by the Guest network on the device/address level.

You can leverage cloud services to expose those.

Hi @TMAR14 

Some routers allow to add access permission to individual devices in a netwerk for Guest Wifi users, by configurating  the permission to be accessed by the Guest network on the device/address level.

Unfortunately, the Internet Box does not offer this functionality. You cannot customize the firewall between both networks.

Best,
