SSID (Service Set Identifier)

An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of a Wi-Fi network that helps devices identify and connect to the correct wireless network. When you see a list of available Wi-Fi networks on your device, each one is labeled with its SSID. It functions like a network's name tag, making it easier for users to distinguish between multiple networks, especially in areas with many Wi-Fi options. The SSID is broadcast by the Wi-Fi router, allowing devices to find and connect to the specific network you want to access.
