How do I find my SSID? - Tablets & eReaders

To connect to a Wi-Fi network with a hidden SSID, select Add Wi-Fi network from the settings. Then manually type in your SSID and password, and select your network security type. Select Save when finished. Now you can browse the web through your Wi-Fi router or connect to other network devices

ssid is the name of the wifi connection you would be connecting to.

The SSID number is the identity of the router you are trying to connect to, not your computer.

Turn on the Wi-Fi under settings and look at the list of SSID's there.

The SSID is the name that is broadcast by the wireless router to identify the wireless network(s). Most devices will perform a scan and provide a list of detected wifi networks. The names you see on the list are the SSIDs. It is possible for a wireless network to exist but not broadcast its SSID. In those cases you must manually enter the SSID in order for the device to scan for, locate, and attempt to connect to the wifi network.

The SSID is the Name given to the Wireless-Connection you want to join. Browse your Router-Configuration for these information.

Look on the side or bottom of the modem/router. Generally there is a white label with SSID and password. The SSID is generally set to 'broadcast,' so doing a network scan on your tablet should come up with the SSID on a list, but if that is not the case, or if you pick up multiple SSIDs (as in an apartment building or condo), then check the label. You will have to check the label for the password, anyway. Have fun!

I assume you are either unable to see your network listed or when you select your network from the list of active Wi-Fi Networks within range of you device and depending on security level no password or the Security Key you have doesn't work. First, make sure you have a few pieces of information: 1) The SSID or name of the network 2) The security type and password 3) If no DHCP service you'll need the ip address subnet and an available address for your device, ip address of the gateway/router, & ip address of the DNS servers. Usually the router provides DHCP and provides all of the addressing information.

Typically, you are provided the SSID and a security key or password. On your tablet open settings and turn Wi-Fi in necessary and look for your SSID in the list to the right. If your SSID is not shown verify the name, that the router is on and you are within range. Be aware of obstructions between you and the router. My Pool House is a virtual dead zone due to some electrical wiring on the wall it shares with the office. The router is less than 5 feet away, but the signal is unreliable. If everything is working and still no SSID on list, then it may be hidden. Simply, select Add Wi-Fi Network at the bottom and enter the SSID (Netgear987), security type (WPA OR WPA2 typically) and the password (PASSWORD maybe case sensitive). If it connects and fails to obtainan ip address or just drops it may indicate another layer of security that requires each device MAC ID is added to the list of authorized devices for that router. Your MAC ID is listed on the Settings_About Device_Status screen WiFi MAC Address: (F7:C7:AE:78:E6:FC). Sounds like a lot but usually verified SSID and password do the trick. Good Luck

Its the NAME usually in the letter from your broadband provider, a seperate card or a sticky label on the back or base of the router

Wireless Network
Name (SSID) WillyWombat785837
Key: 1234ABcD

Click on the SSID in your list of wifi networks and put in your KEY remembering to put the Case in correctly when it asks for password (confusing, wish they asked for key rather than password)

Good luck

That is your wireless network's name. For example, if your wireless network is named 'MyWireless' then the SSID you need to connect to is 'MyWireless'.

Without the SSID, you can't add the Arnova tablet to that network. The default SSID for the WNDR3300 is NETGEAR. You'll need to log into the router (preferably with a device on the wired network ports). Make sure that the wireless network is on and broadcasting its SSID for the 2.4GHz network. Confirm the password (passkey) and the encryption protocol. (The default user name and password for the router is in the manual, see page 19 (page 23 on the PDF) of http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNDR3300V1/WNDR3300_SM_12Nov07.pdf . )

The tablet will look for available networks after you go to the Settings menu on the Home screen. Go to the Wireless & Network. Then turn on the Wi-fi (if needed) and then go to Wi-fi settings. Then find the SSID and enter the password and encryption type.

I hope this helps.
