Setting the SSID of the WLAN

The service set identifier (SSID) is a name that identifies a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless client (for example, a computer) can communicate with the properly only when they are using the same SSID. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can define an SSID as required.

  • Changing the SSID
    This section describes how to change the service set identifier (SSID).
  • Enabling or Disabling the SSID Broadcast
    If the service set identifier (SSID) broadcast function is enabled, the broadcasts the SSID of the wireless local area network (WLAN) facilitating clients' access to the WLAN. The disadvantage is that unauthorized clients can also access the WLAN. If the SSID broadcast is disabled, the does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. So the SSID must be entered manually and correctly from a client before the client accesses the WLAN. This improves the security of the WLAN.
