SSID

An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name assigned to a wireless Wi-Fi network. Think of it as the label on a network’s “cloud” that helps you identify and connect to the correct Wi-Fi signal among multiple options in your area. When you search for available Wi-Fi networks on your device, the SSID is what appears as the network name. It allows devices to distinguish one wireless network from another, especially in crowded areas like cafes or apartments, ensuring you connect to the intended network securely.
