Linksys Wireless Router has a new feature called guest access to its wireless network for your guests at your home or workplace. As the name says, it gives limited privileges to them even though they are connected to your wireless network. Guest wireless access lets the users share the Internet and browse but they cannot join the main Linksys Wireless network. Since they do not have entry to the main network, they cannot access the computers connected to the main wireless network. So your main network is secure.
