The SSID separates network traffic from different wireless networks. To connect any
wireless device to a wireless network, you need to use the SSID. The wireless access point
default SSID is: NETGEAR_11g for the first profile, NETGEAR_11g-1 for the second
profile, NETGEAR_11g-2 for the third profile, NETGEAR_11g-3 for the fourth profile,
and so on. You can enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Some concepts and guidelines regarding the SSID are explained below:
– A Basic Service Set (BSS) is a group of wireless stations and a single wireless access
point, all using the same SSID.
– An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a group of wireless stations and multiple wireless
access points, all using the same ID (ESSID).
