D1: What is SSID? What should I set in the SSID field?
SSID stands for Service Set Identification, which is the ID to form the
Wireless Network. You can set up to 32 characters in the SSID field.
For the Infrastructure Mode, you should set the SSID the same as the

Network, the SSID must be the same among stations to enable the
wireless communication within the local area network.
