You can specify how many simultaneous guest connections you'll allow. The Guest access password is different (or should be different) than the admin password for access. Another issue I have though is that you cannot change the SSID for Guest Access. It will always be named the same as your main SSID with the addition of "-guest." So if your main SSID were "OurHouse," the Guest access SSID would be "OurHouse-guest" and that cannot be changed to anything else. The router has gigabit ethernet ports for equipment that is capable of utilizing gigabit throughput. A USB port on the router allows the user to attach a hard drive for shared across the network access. You can assign users and privileges easily.
