SSID - Service Set ID. The SSID is a code attached to all packets on a
wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network. It is
essentially the name of your network and can be up to a maximum of 32
alphanumeric characters in length. The green icon beside SSID WG302
shows you are connected to this network.
BSSID - Basic Service Set ID. The BSSID is the 6-byte hexadecimal ID
number (the MAC address) of the associated access point or base station in
an infrastructure network. In an ad hoc network, the BSSID is a random
number generated by the first station that communicates with other clients
on the network. This information is only displayed, and not configurable.
Signal - Displays the signal strength from the station to the listed access
points.
Channel - This is the channel used for the wireless connection.
