How do non Cox guests use my WiFi is the gateway won't allow a guest network?
Are there ways for guests to log onto my home network and avoiding giving out my password key?

Try connecting your secondary network router to your primary cable modem that has wifi enabled. However; you need to buy your own router. You can connect a 3rd party wiress router to your modem with an eithernet cable.
Here's how I set up my guest wireless network:
First, I reset my Linksys router what I've currently own. I logged into my router and configure my wifi router to create a wifi name and password. For this instance; examplename_guests. I usuallyset my guest wifi with a password for public use. I use WPA2/PSK to secure a guest wifi network.
Next, I test the guest network to confirm is an internet signal is present. Once the internet is accessed, the guest network is ready to use.
Things you'll need:
- Your own wifi router to be configured for guests
- A primary cable mobem to connect your wireless router to
- An eithernet cable
- Your computer connected to a roughter being configured for setting up a guest wifi.
Note:
If you have wireless routers cascaded around your home, and you configured each router to have a same name and password; you might need to add a dedicated router for guests, rather than a standard internal guest wifi setup with each router. If you have a spare eithernet port on your modem; use it. Even setting up a guest wifi for non-subscribers always help.
