What is a deep link in guest WiFi test? ›

A deep link is a hyperlink that directs users to a specific page or content within an application rather than just the homepage. The deeplink tester will check that the deep links work correctly and redirect users to the intended destination.

Most Wi-Fi routers give you the ability to create what's called a “guest Wi-Fi” network. Unlike your regular Wi-Fi network that you and your family members use, the guest Wi-Fi network restricts what your guests can do in your network. Specifically, it gives visitors access to your Internet connection and nothing else.

Start by checking hardware connections, restarting the router, and examining LED indicators. If these steps don't yield results, verify your internet connection and update your router's firmware. If all else fails, don't hesitate to contact Orbi's customer support for expert assistance.

You can use WiFi Guard, one of the many apps to check a full list of connected devices to your network. This is similar to checking it on your router, it's just a third-party option that you can use on both iOS and Android devices. The app will scan your WiFi network and show you the devices sharing it.

Access controls: Only people who know the password can access the main WiFi network. But a guest network is usually open. Even if you can set a password for it, you'll make it widely available. Usage restrictions: With a guest network, you have more control over how customers interact with it.

Verify that guest WiFi is enabled on the router or access point and that SSID is visibly broadcasting. Check that the WiFi password, if set, is correct and provided to users. Examine the router admin console to confirm guest network settings are properly configured.

When you don't have enough bandwidth to accommodate all of your device traffic, your guest WiFi will slow to a crawl and interrupt streaming data, like video and music. If you are using the Managed WiFi Dashboard, it monitors bandwidth usage for you. If you see the graph peaking, you should consider upgrading.
