This software will setup your E4200 automatically. You don&#8217;t even need to change the wireless security settings. It will create 2 wireless networks. One for your main network and other one for the guest people. You can connect your own computers and devices to the main wireless network. The guest network can be used for the people who want to access the Internet only. Guest network is a virtual wireless network to access the Internet through your router. The computers connected to the guest network will be able to access the Internet only. These computers will not be able to access your main network and files and computers and printers in the main network.<br \/>\nThe guest network is a very good feature included in Linksys E series routers.<\/p>\n<h2>Linksys E4200 setup without Cisco connect software:<\/h2>\n<p>Linksys E4200 setup is very easy.

So it is really not necessary to install the Cisco connect software to manage guest network as it was the case in Cisco E1000, E2000 and E3000 wireless routers. In these routers the guest network can be created and managed only using the Cisco connect software.<br \/>\nFor E4200, Linksys has included Guest settings using web UI of the router.<br \/>\nThe wireless connection speed using E4200 will be 300+ mbps.
