The SSID is the network name that wireless clients use to identify and connect to a specific Wi‑Fi network. It is configured on the access point and broadcast so devices can see and select the network. It isn’t the encryption key that secures traffic, it isn’t the device’s IP address, and it isn’t the manufacturer or AP hardware name. The SSID serves as a readable label for the network, and while an organization might run multiple APs sharing the same SSID to allow seamless roaming, the SSID itself is a separate identifier from the access point’s own name.
