Creating a temporary Wi-Fi password typically involves setting up a guest network on your router. Here's how to do it using the Google Home app, which is a common method for many modern routers:
-
Open the Google Home app: Launch the Google Home application on your smartphone or tablet.
-
Navigate to Wi-Fi Settings: Tap Favorites then select your Wifi Network, then tap settings. Select the option for Guest Network.
-
Enable Guest Network: Turn on the Guest network feature.
-
Set Network Name (SSID) and Password: Enter a unique network name (SSID) and a strong password for your guests to use. A password is required for Guest networks.
-
Configure Shared Devices (Optional): Under “Shared devices,” select any smart devices you want your guests to be able to access, such as Chromecast or smart speakers. This step is optional but can be useful for sharing media or other resources.
-
Save the Settings: Tap Save to apply the changes. The guest network will now be active with the temporary password you created.
By setting up a guest network, you protect your primary network and devices from unauthorized access while still providing internet access to your guests.
