Make sure the router services are not available to clients.  IE https, ssh, 
telnet, SNMP, et al.
I’m personally in favor of a walled garden, ie make them accept a TOS before 
accessing the internet.
Ensure you have BCP38 enabled: https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp38 
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp38>
Firewall your personal LAN from access to/from the guest network.
I would also block vulnerable services that shouldn’t be available anyways. 
If possible just allow specifics, like web traffic, dhcp from your router, dns 
lookups from your recursive, et al.
