Broadcast SSID
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled,
the SSID will not be visible as an available
Wi-Fi network to clients – clients must
manually enter the SSID in order to connect.
A hidden (disabled) SSID is typically more
secure than a visible (enabled) SSID. WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is also disabled when
SSID broadcast is disabled.
Device SSID
This is the name of your Wi-Fi network for
