Hi,

I remember answering this few days and also George joined the thread.. or max week back..

Guest LAN WLAN =

1> The clients connecting to the WLAN will have a time limit on the connectivity, for example you can configure the Guest WLAN for 24 hours or something which you want..

2> I guess George pointed this in the previous thread.. Can be used for Wired Guest Users configuration as well , here is the link..

WLAN =

Just nothing but a SSID with security which doesnt have any time limit.

which one is preffered? =

Its your network and what ever meets your requirements you can use that.. however both of them does its job with different features involved.

lemme know if this answered your question..

Regards
Surendra

Thanks Surendra BG.  George your thought on this?

Depends on your needs. What are you trying to accomplish ?

I dont want the users to logged off after the time period, I can use the Local net user without checking Guest, will this work?

So you want accounts that never expire?
