Explanation
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the human-readable name assigned to a wireless network - it is what appears in the list of available Wi-Fi networks on any device. When multiple wireless networks exist in the same environment, the SSID is what distinguishes them from one another. Configuring the wireless printer to join a specific SSID connects it to that particular network, making it available only to devices on the same network. DNS resolves hostnames to IP addresses. WPA is a wireless security/encryption protocol. VPN creates an encrypted tunnel for secure remote access. None of these identify which wireless network to join - only the SSID does.
