ESS ID

The ESSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must

have the same ESSID. Select Specified ESSID as and enter a specific ESSID (Access Point) you desire to

connect with. Alternatively, you may select Use Non-Specified ESSID (default setting). This allows your

wireless adapter to automatically associate to any Access Point in the vicinity of your wireless adapters.

You can leave Use Non-Specified ESSID field blank, or enter the name ANY (all characters in uppercase). It

is recommended that you select the Specified ESSID as option. This will prevent your computer from

accidentally connecting to a different wireless network.
