Abstract
The disclosure relates to a dual network access point capable of establishing a home wireless network and a further secondary wireless network for a number of wireless devices. The first wireless network is a private home WLAN while the second wireless network is a guest network or a hotspot network. To prevent secondary network users impacting the performance of the first network, the access point monitors the devices connected to the first network and adjusts the advertised minimum supportable rate on the second network.
