In the Mode Setup page:
The Access Point Name field appears
when the access point is in AP/Gateway
mode and refers to the identity of the
device.
When the access point is operated in
wireless client mode, this field is
referred to as Station Name instead.
In AP/Gateway mode, the ESSID
uniquely identifies each WLAN.
When the access point is operated in
wireless client mode, this field is
referred to as SSID instead.
Each name is case-sensitive and can reach a
maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters.
It is a good practice to name the access points
uniquely, particularly when there are several
devices in the network.
This case-sensitive entry can consist of a
maximum of 32 characters and should be the
same for any device connecting to the same
network.
