Wireless network terms and concepts

You need to configure the SSID and a channel to specify the wireless network you want to connect to.



SSID

Each wireless network has its own unique network name and it is technically referred to as an SSID or

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier). The SSID is a 32-byte or less value and is assigned to the access

point. The wireless network devices you want to associate to the wireless network should match the

access point. The access point and wireless network devices regularly send wireless packets (referred to

as a beacon) which has the SSID information. When your wireless network device receives a beacon, you

can identify the wireless network that is close enough for the radio waves to reach your device.

Channels



Wireless networks use channels. Each wireless channel is on a different frequency. There are up to 14

different channels that can be used when using a wireless network. However, in many countries the

number of channels available are restricted.
