What is the SSID?

Your Xplornet Hub 2.0 uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels that send and
receive signals to and from your wireless devices. These two channels make
up your Home Network. The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the technical term
for the Network names given for these two channels.
To connect to the Internet, your wireless device scans for your SSID (Network)
name which appears in the Networks list of your wireless device's
Settings. You complete the connection to your Network by selecting one
of the SSIDs from the list. For example, a default Xplornet SSID name could
appear as XCI_a2fdfxv5-5G. The 2.4 and 5 GHz SSID entries in the GUI are the
security settings for your two Network channels.
