Which of the following statement about SSID is wrong?

Question

Options

• AMultiple different SSIDs can be released on one AP
• BThe same SSID can be released on multiple APs
• CThere is no limit to the number of SSIDs that can be configured on an AP
• DTwo sets of antennas of an AP can release the same SSID signal

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  10% (5)
• C
  79% (38)
• D
  6% (3)

Explanation

Option C is wrong because every AP has a finite limit on the number of SSIDs it can support - this limit is enforced by hardware capacity and vendor firmware, and is commonly capped at 8 to 16 SSIDs per radio. Options A, B, and D are all true: a single AP can broadcast multiple SSIDs simultaneously (for example, a guest network and a corporate network on the same device), the same SSID can be deployed across many APs to allow seamless roaming across a building or campus, and both radio bands or antenna sets on a dual-band AP can broadcast the same SSID name. Options A, B, and D describe standard real-world wireless configurations, which is why they are correct statements.

Memory tip: Think of an AP like a parking lot with a fixed number of spaces - no matter how many names you give to sections, you eventually run out of physical room, so "no limit" is always the wrong claim for a physical device.
