Profile Name Name of the wireless network profile.
When you configure a wireless network that was selected from the
Wireless Networks list, the profile name is the same as the Wireless
Network Name (SSID). This name can be changed to be more
descriptive or customized for your personal use.
Examples: My Office Network, Bob’s Home Network, ABC Company
Network
Wireless Network Name (SSID) Name of the wireless network access point used by the wireless
adapter for connection. The network name must match exactly the
name of the wireless access point. It is case sensitive.
When you configure a wireless network that was selected from the
Wireless Networks list, the network name is taken from the wireless
network list. You cannot and should not change it.
If an access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID) or
the wireless adapter receives a hidden network name from a stealth
access point, <SSID not broadcast is displayed in the Wireless
Networks list. To associate with an <SSID not broadcast network
entry, a new profile must be created before connection. After
connection, the <SSID not broadcast is still displayed in the Wireless
Networks list. The associated SSID profile is viewed in the Profiles
list.
