Hello!
I have Ignite internet with the XB7 router, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to add an extra router I have and use that as a guest WiFi running in parallel to the main WiFi network?
Are there any configuration changes I need to make on the gateway modem for this to work?
Thank you!

However, this should be a non-issue for guests who are just doing casual web browsing.
You can also avoid this problem by putting that "guest access" router into "AP mode" or using a Wi-Fi Access Point.
