Having a party tonight? Make sure to create a guest network for your Connect Home hub. That way, everyone can enjoy the internet, but they will not have access to your personal information. Do not worry, it is easy to set one up with the SmartThings app.

5 Enter a desired name and password for the guest network, and then tap DONE.
Enter a desired name and password for the guest network, and then tap DONE.
