An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of a Wi-Fi network that allows devices to identify and connect to it. When you look for a network to join on your phone or computer, the list of names you see is a list of SSIDs being broadcast by nearby routers. Each network has a unique SSID, which helps differentiate it from others in range.

Function: It acts as a unique name for a wireless network, similar to how a house has a unique address.

Visibility: SSIDs can be publicly broadcast or hidden, depending on the administrator's settings.

Purpose: They allow devices to find and connect to the correct wireless network and are crucial for security purposes, as a unique SSID can make a network easier to identify and manage.

Identification: You can usually find your network's default SSID on a sticker on the router itself or by checking your device's Wi-Fi settings.
