"SSID". The SSID can consist of any
combination of up to 32 alphanumerical
characters.
Enable or disable SSID broadcast. When
enabled, the SSID will be visible to clients as
an available Wi-Fi network. When disabled,

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.
