∙ 7y agoA wireless network is always assigned two names to identify it. The SSID is the name that is broadcast to users to identify the network such as "GuestNetwork" or "XYZPublic". It is very common for different wireless networks to have the same SSID. The BSSID is the longer, non human readable identifier that is broadcast to other devices, and is generally unique.

∙ 13y ago(Service Set IDentifier) The name assigned to a wireless Wi-Fi network. All devices must use this same, case-sensitive name to communicate, which is a text string up to 32 bytes long. Typically set to the equipment vendor's name, such as "linksys," it can be manually changed by going into the configuration settings of the access point with a Web browser. The client machines will identify all the wireless networks they find when they boot up, unless the networks are hidden (see ssid-broadcast). See wireless-lan-technology.
