The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name that identifies a specific wireless network. It is used to associate wireless stations (clients) with the access point (AP). For a client to connect to the network, it must match the SSID of the AP. In simpler terms, the SSID is the WiFi network name that clients look for and use to connect to the AP.
