Name (SSID)
This is the name of your Wi-Fi network for
identification, also sometimes referred to as
“SSID”. The SSID can consist of any
combination of up to 32 alphanumerical
characters.
Hide SSID
Enable or disable hide SSID. When disabled,
the SSID will be visible to clients as an
available Wi-Fi network. When enabled, 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.

clients’ usernames and passwords.
