The SSID is the wireless network name displayed on user devices, and its configuration must be consistent with the WLAN name of the wireless access point. If an enterprise does not want the Wi-Fi network used by employees to be freely connected to by external devices, it can enable the SSID hiding feature. Must-Knows
