Common mistakes.

- C. SSIDs are fundamental to all Wi-Fi networks, regardless of whether they are standalone access points or part of a controller-based wireless solution.
- D. An SSID identifies a logical wireless network (WLAN) which can be supported by a single access point or by multiple access points forming an Extended Service Set (ESS).
