Pro tip for your WiFi password. Just use three or four common words without any fancy symbols or spacing like in the XKCD comic. This will make it significantly easier to hand out your WiFi password and isn’t attached to anything personal.

You can also just print out a QR code with all the info and stick it to your fridge. No more arguing about capitalization or punctuation. Your guest wifi can now be anything you want and hardly anyone using it will notice what the password actually is. I like to sneak a joke in there to see if anyone's paying attention.

Another pro tip, if you're throwing a parties with larger groups of people, spin up a temporary guest wifi without any password. And put it on a separate VLAN, use device isolation, and throttle that traffic because you were doing that anyway for the guest wifi, right? Comcast/Xfinity is the going monopoly in my area so I usually just name it after their hotspots. Then you don't have to do anything special when randos and +1s want to connect. Most people with the same internet provider probably connected automatically. Of course, you'll need to remember to turn it off later.

My guest network is a captive portal and requires you scan a license.

The intent is to get them to leave.
