How to set up a Guest WiFi network on xFi Advanced Gateway
I have an xFi Advanced Gateway. Specifically I have as my Wireless Gateway the TG3482G model (Arris).
I have my Wifi network name called FooBar. When guests come over, I don't want to give them FooBar's network password. Nor do most of my guests have a Xfinity account per https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/help-guests-get-online so the hotspot option is not practical.
Instead, I want to create a guest network called FooBar_Guest. Possible?
I saw in a post from 7+ months ago that someone from Comcast said "We don't offer private guest network options for residential customers but we do have something like that for our Comcast Business class customers. "
Is that still the case, as it applies to the xFi Advanced Gateway?
Thanks, TK00

With a Comcast supplied gateway device, the secondary network name / SSID (xfinitywifi) that is also broadcasted is intended to be used as a guest network.

This, but also a third party router set up as a Wireless Access Point with AP isolation enabled will also work.
