SSID stands for Service Set Identifiers. SSID is a type of wireless network internet connection. These wireless Web access points can produce signals up to 120 ft. This means users in neighborhoods and buildings will see several networks. The availablity of SSID's are in various types. The most basic is an ASCII set of characters that is only for that wireless router. The typical identifier is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the router. SSID's are most usually designated at the setup configuration of the wireless access point. Many WAPs possess functions which can be used during the installation. Users can name the access points as they see fit. To make usage even more easier, a unique name is assigned.

∙ 13y agoThe SSID acts essentially like the name of a wireless LAN network. It is how 2 routers for different networks in the same area differentiate what is for them. Specifically, every packet of information sent over the wireless network gets a 32 character ID tag. Each router works with packets with the correct tag. The SSID provides no wireless security itself, as the ID's can be read from each packet by nearby wireless devices.
