WiFi Network Name (SSID) and Password Setup

8 months ago | Article no. 1313

Introduction


  • An SSID (service set identifier) is a sequence of characters that create a unique name for a wireless network

  • SSIDs differentiate one wireless LAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific wireless LAN must use the same SSID

  • An SSID is also called a network name
