The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets that are sent over a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another.
Where do I Find my network SSID on my computer?
Find your current network’s name. The network you’re connected to will appear at the top of the pop-up window. You’ll see “Connected” beneath its name. Review the other available network SSIDs. You’ll see a list of network names in the pop-up window; each of these names is a specific network’s SSID.
How do I force a wireless client to use a specific SSID?
The business one has a hidden ssid. I have gone into “manage wireless networks” and told it to forget “guest” ssid, connected to the “business” ssid, and told it to always connect to “business.” 2 minutes later, it has disconnected from business and reconnected to guest and my users can’t get their jobs done.
Is it possible to have the same SSID on multiple devices?
As long as your device is connected to Wi-Fi, there’s no problem having multiple networks with the same SSID number within the vicinity. However, if your device disconnects and then tries to reconnect, this can cause some confusion, as it will pick the network with the strongest signal.
What to do if you dont know your SSID?
If you want to connect to your own wireless network but don’t know your SSID, the best option is to connect your router to the computer via ethernet cable and log into its web interface. We do not advise trying to guess — that’s the perfect way to fall for an evil twin attack.
