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.

Broadcast SSID

If enabled, the SSID will broadcast its name to all Wireless stations.

using the SSID above. If this Wireless network is selected, the computer adopts this SSID
