SSID Enter the wireless service set identifier (SSID) or network name for this
wireless interface. Users who want to use the wireless network must configure
their computers with this network name.
SSID Broadcast Select to broadcast the SSID. Broadcasting the SSID enables clients to
connect to your wireless network without first knowing the SSID. For better
security, do not broadcast the SSID. If the interface is not broadcast, there is
less chance of an unwanted user connecting to your wireless network. If you
choose not to broadcast the SSID, you need to inform users of the SSID so
they can configure their wireless devices.
