Wireless Network
Name (SSID) This is the name of your Wi-Fi network for
identification, also sometimes referred to as
“SSID”. The SSID can consist of any
combination of up to 32 alphanumerical
characters.
Broadcast SSID Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled,
the SSID will not be visible as an available
Wi-Fi network to clients – clients must
manually enter the SSID in order to connect.
A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID.
