[Optional] Enter a descriptive name for the wireless network in the ESSID field. The ESSID (Extended
7
Service Set Identifier) is a unique name that identifies a wireless network. The field attributes are as
follows:
• Case-sensitive
• 1-32 alphanumeric characters
[Optional] To enable broadcasting of the ESSID, select the Broadcast ESSID checkbox. This makes this
8
wireless network visible to clients scanning for wireless networks. Disabling the ESSID broadcast should
not be considered a security measure; clients can still connect if they know the ESSID, and it is possible
for network sniffers to read the ESSID from other clients.
