Add guest wifi.

I know you can't set up guest wifi via the sky router. However, I have read there are possible ways but the advice is very complicated for a non technical person.

Am I correct in thinking I would purchase say a Draytek Router and then connect this to the main sky router?

I need to keep the existing router as too many things are already connected heating cctv etc.

I literally just need a guest wifi and password, so they can access via phones, etc (nothing fancy).

If anyone has an easy non technical reply or video links it would be much appreciated.

If its hard and to techy for a novice I'll try an IT local company.

Simplest way is by adding a standalone wireless access point (not a router) but remember the intent of 'real' Guest WiFi is usually network traffic segregation, and such a solution won't do that.

@Fulham142 You won't need another router, however an Access Point would give you the option to name it aa a guest network but would connect to an existing router port.
