each other. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric characters.
The SSID may also be referred to by its network name.

the SSID set to the access point to detect it.

The stealth mode is called a "closed network".

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Subnet Mask Address: 192.168.127.0
