The following items are displayed on this page:

◆Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service provided by the Wireless Broadband Router. Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Wireless Broadband Router. (Default: “SMCWBR14S-N4_AP”; Range: 1- 32 characters)

◆Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Wireless Broadband Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect. (Default: Enabled)

◆BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Wireless Broadband Router in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
