SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a wireless network, access points, and wireless devices attempting to connect to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is case-sensitive.

Operation Mode: Operation Mode refers to the type of wireless connections (see "Wireless network name and network key" on page 153).

-Ad-hoc: Allows wireless devices to communicate directly with each other in a peer-to-peer environment.

-Infrastructure: Allows wireless devices to communicate with each other through an access point.
