Wireless Network ID

The Wireless Network ID (also referred to as the SSID) is like a secret code that your AP and your Wireless devices share to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your WLAN. Your Wireless devices can only connect to your AP if they have the same SSID as the AP. Wireless devices in Ad-hoc mode must be set to the same SSID.

The Wireless Network ID is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
