Guest Network Request

[blade_27]

I have my internet through Shaw, I'd just like to submit a request for Rogers Xfinity to setup a guest network.

@blade_27 -- A Google-search for "Rogers Xfinity to setup a guest network" returns:

To set up a guest network with Rogers Xfinity, you can use the Rogers MyWiFi app or the Rogers Xfinity app:
Rogers MyWiFi app
Open a web browser and go to 10.0.0.1
Sign in with the username and the password or your Easy Connect WiFi password
Select Wireless
Select Basic Settings
Select Guest
From here, you can:
Turn your guest WiFi network on or off
Change the network name or password
Set the maximum number of guests permitted to use it (up to 10)

So I just spoke with Shaw tech support, apparently it's my PC that's preventing me from accessing my web portal {Firefox}. We tried another browser {Microsoft Edge} on my PC "your Internet access is blocked. Firewall or antivirus software may have blocked the connection...". I was able to access it on my cell phone.

I also found out during the call that as a subscriber to the latest Rogers Xfinity Internet service they've done away the option to run a guest wifi function, a DOWNGRADE if you ask me.

So if anyone from Shaw happens to see this, I'd like to submit a request for Rogers Xfinity to setup a guest network option.

If anyone else is able to help with me logging in to my web portal from my PC, that would also be much appreciated. I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security I'm guessing that's what's preventing the web portal from opening.

@blade_27 -- on my Windows computer, I opened a command-line prompt. Then, I entered "ipconfig" and got this output:

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : gv.shawcable.net
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.133
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.1

Do you get "10.0.0.1" or "192.168.something.something"?

So, try:   http://10.0.0.1

or

http://192.168.something.something

to logon to your cable-modem.

>>> So if anyone from Shaw happens to see this,

As mentioned before, that is never going to happen.  Those Shaw employees who previously posted to this forum are no longer posting, and probably are not even watching.

@blade_27 -- or, a much-simpler method is just to connect the WAN port of your own WiFi-capable router to one of the LAN ports of the cable-modem. Configure your own router's WiFi, to create a "guest" network. Devices on the "private" network cannot access any devices connected (wired or wireless) to the cable-modem. There is no need to "bridge" the cable-modem.
