This is the name of your Wi‐Fi network for identification, also sometimes referred to as "SSID". The ESSID can consist of any combination of up to 32 alphanumerical characters. Enable or disable ESSID broadcast. When enabled, the ESSID will be visible to clients as an available Wi‐Fi network. When disabled, the ESSID will not be visible as an available Wi‐Fi network to clients - clients must manually enter the ESSID in order to connect. A hidden (disabled) ESSID is typically more secure than a visible (enabled) SSID. Check the box to enable wireless clients isolation.
