with other mobile clients within the wireless LAN adapter range.
Network Name - Displays the network SSID. The network SSID is a string use to identify a wireless LAN. Assign different SSIDs to segment the wireless LAN and increase network security. Set the SSID to a null string to allow your station to connect to any available access point. Null string may not be used in
