Title:

What is the SSID?

Description:
SSID is short for Service Set Identifier, a unique identifier to avoid interference on a wireless network, and it is also referred to as ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value. This value or name is assigned to the access point.

The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the access point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to as a beacon), which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you can identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.
