The SSID of a wireless network is determined by the wireless access point (AP) that you are using. Some AP's have a label on the bottom that give the SSID and Key for that particular network. Some AP's broadcast the SSID and that can be read off the air when you attempt to connect. Those are the 'available' networks that show up in the wireless network list. If you are trying to connect to a network that is not your own, you need to get the connection data, including the SSID and network key, from the person providing the network. There are open networks that broadcast their SSID and don't require any key, but those networks are not secure and data transmitted on them can be stolen.
Depends on what you're looking at - if you're on a router, then the SSID is the network name that the router broadcasts (it shows up on your laptop/PC in the list of wireless networks) and you can set it up as anything you like. If you're on a PC/Laptop/Games Console then the SSID is the name of teh network you are trying to connect to. You shouldn't need to enter it as it should show up on the list of "available wireless networks"
Showing the SSID only means that the wireless network is within the range of the NVR. You need to configure the NVR with the password (or network-key) to allow it to connect to that SSID.
Does it show you the options screen where you can change it? If it shows you WEP or any of the other security options, but not WPA2 then your adapter is not equipped to handle WPA2. Some older adapters were made before WPA2 came about.
If you get to your Wireless Connection under Network settings and Right Click on it and Select Properties.
When the Properties window opens click the Wireless Networks tab and select your network by highlighting it. Once you network ssid is highlighted click Properties. Click the Association tab and look down at the Network Authentication drop down window. You can see all the available types that your adapter can handle such as WPA, WPA-PSK, etc. If WPA2-PSK is not in there, your adapter can't handle it.
The "ssid" is the broadcasted name of your router, if you have a computer or another device that picks up wireless signals it will show the "ssid," or name of your network, usually as the first option in the list of networks found.
1. Directly connect to the router with an ethernet cable from your PC. 2. On the browser, enter the router's IP address 3. Log into the router 4. Navigate to router's wireless setup 5. Change the SSID to something NEW and DISTINCTIVE - do not use a default SSID 6. Make sure SSID is being broadcast - click to set the check-box if it wasn't set before 7. Save and exit the router setup then disconnect the ethernet cable 8. On your PC, View Wireless Network Connections 9. Click Network Task to Refresh network list 10. Your router with new SSID should show on the refreshed network list 11. High light your router's new SSID and click the Connect button 12. On the pop-up requesting WEP or WPA key, enter the key you had set in the router before.
SSID means Service Set Identifier SSID is the network name setup on router to be Recognised. This can be Default name like the router name or a name specified by user
Right click on the taskbar icon + view available wireless networks + change order of preferred networks + delete you network from the list + add network + manually enter the SSID and the security key + ok and exit.
Before you attempt
to use any Wi-Fi network, find out what the SSID, Channel, Mode and WEP
key are. Some Wi-Fi locations do not require a WEP key. Many Wi-Fi
providers have this information on their web site or when you purchase
access you will be provided the information.
Ensure you have a firewall program installed and running. This will protect your data.
Start up your laptop and once booted, look for the Wi-Fi network icon in the bottom right of the screen.
Click on the Wifi Connection icon on bottom right of screen and you
should see a window that indicates connection, strength and duration.
Click on the Properties tab.
The next window will show the type of networking card installed. Click on the Wireless Networks tab.
Once the Wireless Network Connection Properties window is open you
will have two options depending on how you set up your laptop.
If you
do not see any networks listed in Preferred or Available networks, you
will have to manually add the SSID. Click on Add.
You will have to enter the SSID and WEP key (if required). Click OK and
you should then see the network you just added in the Available
networks box.
If you see the correct SSID showing in the Available Networks, then
you need to click on Configure in order to enter the WEP key if that is
required.
In the next window, enter the SSID for the Wi-Fi network you want
to access. Make sure you do not have CAPS lock or NUM lock while
entering the information. If a network key is required, click on "Data
Encryption and then enter the Network key you have been provided with.
Again make sure you do not have CAPS or NUM lock on. Click OK when
entered. If you have entered the key incorrectly a message will pop up
and you will need to re-enter the key.
Next go to Start - and where it says Connect To click on that and
you should see choices like in the graphic below. Click on Wireless
Network Connection and it should work.
There are
occasions when the connection doesn't work, in these cases check your
firewall software and make sure it allows you to connect to the Wi-Fi
network. To check this, disable your firewall software and check the
connection again. If you can connect with the firewall program
disabled, you change your settings. If your firewall program is not the
problem check the SSID and WEP key information that you entered. Both
of these are case sensitive. If you had obtained SSID information from
the Internet, check with someone in the establishment to see if the
SSID has been changed.
