Is there anyway I can setup a WiFi network for my family and one for my friends and the rest of my extended family to use so that we dont have to give out our WiFi password.

I would like to complete this entire thing without spending much or any money.

Thank you

It is entirely possible but it depends on your router's model. Many routers allow you to set up a guest WiFi network with just a few clicks.

Yes, it is possible with most routers. You could just create an additional WiFi service set with a different, or no password. Some higher-end routers can also isolate the traffic between these two networks and prevent guests from communicating with other devices on your network.

Some Routers like mine have "Guest Networks". Where I can put a simple password on it, and have it isolated from my main wireless network. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
