    Creating two networks Public/Private with one wifi router


    Hi all.
    I want to create a wifi network where I can share across all of my private devices.
    Then, another wifi network that my guests can access for internet only.
    Do I need two routers for this? Or, are there some good routers out there to do that sort of thing?

    If you can point me in the direction of some relevant reading, I am happy to follow that. I'm not sure where to begin, and most of my searches seem irrelevant (maybe I just don't know the jargon).

    :)

    configure two network type wifi public and Ethernet private


    Hello,

    I have two network adapters in Windows 10 one wifi for connecting to internet and one Ethernet for local network.
    I need to configure wifi adapter to public network and Ethernet to private network but i can't.

    Inverse it work ( wifi to private and Ethernet to public ) but I don't need that.
    (only wifi adapter have option to be discoverable by others pd in Network Settings -> advanced options )


    I need to share files by Ethernet AND NOT by wifi.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you

    Changing wifi settings from public to private

    I have seen the same question being asked with the same answer that apparently does not exist: I want to change my WiFi connection from public to private. The suggestion I keep seeing is:

    1. On the right side of the taskbar, select the Wi-Fi network icon.
    2. Under the name of the Wi-Fi network that you’re connected to, select
      Properties
      .
    3. Under Network profile, select Public or
      Private
      .
    Well I am running WIndows Home version 1903 and there is no link called
    Network profile
    where I can select between Public or
    Private
    .

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to
    change your network from Public to Private:


    • Type PowerShell in Search Window and then right click on it and click on
      Run as Administrator.

    • Type the following command to find your interface Index:
      Get-NetConnectionProfile

    • Use your interface index (for example 5) with this command:
      Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 5 -NetworkCategory Private
