Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C, D

SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. It is used to identify a wireless network. SSIDs are case sensitive text strings and have a maximum

length of 32 characters. All wireless devices on a wireless network must have the same SSID in order to communicate with each other.

The SSID on computers and the devices in WLAN can be set manually and automatically. Configuring the same SSID as that of the other

Wireless Access Points (WAPs) of other networks will create a conflict. A network administrator often uses a public SSID that is set on the

access point. The access point broadcasts SSID to all wireless devices within its range. Some newer wireless access points have the ability to

disable the automatic SSID broadcast feature in order to improve network security.

Wait, can different networks really have the same SSID? That sounds risky.

I thought SSIDs were case sensitive, but now I’m confused. Was it B that said they are case insensitive?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think C is true because devices need to share the same SSID to connect, right?

I’m not sure about A; I think having the same SSID across different networks can cause issues, but I can't recall the specifics.
