I've read in cnet's review of Linksys E4200 that its guest networking feature has a limit of only 10 clients.

Since I don't know what guest networking is, I have a few questions about the router:
1.) Will I be able to create a normal WPA secured network where devices can communicate with each other (e.g. file sharing or printing through wireless network)?
2.) If I indeed can create a normal network, does the 10 client limit still apply?

Thanks in advance!
 
Guest wireless client networking has a separate SSID from your private SSID and if Guest wireless is enabled you will see SSIDs like 'My Home' and 'My Home Guest'. If I am not mistaken the devices connected to the Guest network will not be able to see each other and cannot connect to shares on your private network.

1) you will be able to create a normal private WPA or WPA2 secure network and be able to share files and printers

2) the 10 client limit should only apply to the Guest network and not to the private.
