If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access points) this ID is called an ESSID

 

 

(Extended Service Set Identifier).

 

 

It is possible to change the SSID to a preferred value.

 

 

AP mode and AP/Router mode must use different SSIDs. Using the same SSID for both modes would

 

 

confuse wireless clients.
