How Do I Set Up a Guest Network on an Airport Extreme?
I have an Airport Extreme Wifi router. Had set it up a few months ago and it's working fine. Now I want to add a Guest Network to share my wifi signal with other people, but I want them to have a separate Wifi PW. I can't figure out how to do this using the Airport Utility.
So I open the Airport Utility and click Manual Setup for the Extreme and there are 4 tabs: Summary, Base Station, Wireless, & Access Control.
I thought there was an option for Guest Network, but I don't have it?

No, it's not my router. I got this one for a client. In any case, I bought this Airport Extreme at the Apple Store back in Feb of 2010.
Interestingly enough I do have an Airport Extreme at home and when I access the Airport Utility in my apartment, I can see the "Guest Network" tab. Same MacBook, same Airport Utility...only thing different is the Airport Extreme.
I don't understand what I could have configured differently at the client site that would prevent me from seeing this "Guest Network" tab??

You think? Nothing would surprise me at this point, but I'm skeptical. I did a firmware upgrade on this thing less than a month ago. Why would Apple choose to eliminate one of advertised features of this device?!?

You may be right after all, Firebar. At home I can see the Guest Network tab but not at the office.
Going into Airport Utility at Home I see the version is 7.4.2
At the Office the version is 7.5.1.

Seems retarded that Apple would disable one of the advertised features of this device. Doesn't make sense to me.
