What is a characteristic of an SSID in wireless networks?

An SSID identifies a WLAN (wireless network), not necessarily an individual access point, as multiple APs can broadcast the same SSID.

The SSID is the network name itself; a separate password or passphrase is used for authentication to connect to an access point.

While SSIDs are part of network security configuration, they do not inherently 'use policies' to prevent unauthorized users; security protocols like WPA2/3, along with authentication, manage access control.

An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a case-sensitive text string that uniquely names a wireless local area network (WLAN), allowing users to distinguish and select it for connection.
