WiFi Network Name (SSID) and Password Setup

about 1 month 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

Resolution Steps
