Guest networks

I know this has been addressed before in 2021 but I would like to know if anything has changed. Can you create more than one guest network on the Nest WiFi? If not, why doesn’t Google allow this or fix the issue to allow it? I believe a lot of people might want to do this. Thank you.

Explain the point of multiple guest networks. If you don't trust them, don't give it to them.

To stop kids/guests/etc Google calls it "pausing" internet connections. https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7535858

Quite frankly, your request is insulting to even ask and I don't need to explain. It is my business...but let's say, for example, someone wants to let their elderly neighbor use their network for the minimal use they have for the internet and doesn't want them using theirs. Just like when a dog sitter spends the night/day and works from a client's home. But one might want separate ones for each.

Hey Aboeddeker,

To answer your question about multiple guest networks, it's still only possible to create a single guest network. I can pass your feedback along to our internal teams in the form of a feature request. Aside from passing that along to our teams, is there anything else I can do for you?

Thanks,
Jeff
