SSID | The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, |
| therefore, all access points and all devices attempting |
| to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same |
| SSID. It is |
| characters. A device will not be permitted to join the |
| BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is |
| also referred to as a network name because essentially |

| By using WEP data encryption, there may be a |
| significant degradation of the data throughput on the |
| wireless link. |

| AP. You can have up to 64 clients to associate to this |

| identifies each BSS. In AP mode, this value is the MAC |
| address of this Access Point. |
