Enabing Guest WIFI access . . .

Hi,

 

I have a Verizon FIOS ActionTec router MI424WR Rev. I. I want to enable/set-up guest WIFI access so that I don't have to give my wifi password to guests.  After browsing and calling Verizon support, came to know current ActionTec (MI424WR) router does NOT have guest access (possibly due to firmware limitations).

 

I do have an old LinkSys Wireless-G WRT54GS (Ver. 6) lying around and do NOT want to upgrade to Verizon FIOS Quantum at the moment.

 

 

So was wondering if I can make use of that old router to allow guests access the Internet (via wifi) without me having to provide them  my password ?  I just want to keep my Verizon FIOS router as the main one since I have lot of my devices connected and configured.

 

I also skimmed thru' DD-WRT website and found that my old LinkSys router may face "challenges" since it is WRT54GS (Ver. 6) due to less RAM (meaning would have to run DD-WRT micro -- but still it's a hit or a miss).

 

So I am looking for how do I go about it ? Are there detailed steps that someone can, who has accomplished such things, describe here?

 

I did browse thru' this forum and did find a few posts, but still not sure how to achieve the guest-access feature :

So will appreciate some details here.

 

Thanks,

Dharmesh.
