Some companies have internal Wi-Fi for company issued phones, laptops, etc. This wi-fi network has the same capabilities as your wired network. It will go through the same firewall, so anything you do on your company issued desktop or laptop and are able to connect with your personal iPad or iPhone WILL be logged and tracked.
Some companies also offer a "guest" wi-fi so salespeople, contractors, consultants, even employees personal devices, etc. can connect to the internet. This too is tracked and again, ANYTHING you do on that network will be watched. Even if the guest network allows you to go places your company network won't. Simple example is yahoo or gmail mail. Most companies won't let you access your personal email from your work issued computer while on the company network. But you can access it on your guest network. Why? so that sales, guests, etc. can get to their pitch/sales decks, etc.
Just remember though, just because it has less restrictions, doesn't mean that you're not being tracked or logged. While the likelihood that someone from IT security or HR will come to your office while your surfing

One-off visits that you are only on for a second or 2 won't cause any problems and can be explained away. hours spent there a day is another story and cause for dismissal.
How to safely surf porn at work? Get an iPad with its own LTE connection. Before I worked for myself and had my own company, my work issued laptop & phone was strictly business and nothing was on it. But when I was at work and I wanted to check what was going on with ECCIE, I'd use my LTE enabled iPad with the wi-fi turned off.
Now with me owning the company, quite frankly I do the same thing. I use my company equipment strictly for business and my personal laptop/iPad for coming here to ECCIE or anywhere else I want to surf.
I hate having 2 devices, but it's the safest way to keep your private stuff private. Companies can't (or shouldn't) be able to confiscate your personal devices unless you signed an agreement with them allowing them to do that, which a lot will do if you let them put work email on your personal device. So keep the devices separate and don't go anywhere you shouldn't be going on company equipment or company provided wi-fi (whether its guest wi-fi or not).
Seriously, the IT guys in Security will watch the logs and not only laugh at who goes where, but some of them even collect the sites you visit just so they'll know where the best porn sites are.
So the next time you're walking down the hall and the IT security/network guy smiles at you, he's smiling at you because he knows you went to
