The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used to identify a group of wireless LAN components. The SSID can be broadcast in order to allow properly configured wireless stations to learn the SSID and join the group. Wireless LAN is enabled by default on the Router. If the wireless access point has been previously disabled you can enable 802.
