Which wireless mode allows wireless clients to connect to a network by using a wireless access point?

802.11 wireless NICs can operate in four modes: managed, master, ad hoc, and monitor mode. 802.11 wireless clients connect to an access point in managed mode (also called client mode). Once connected, clients communicate with the access point only; they cannot directly communicate with other clients.

How do I find out my SSID?

Is SSID the same as IP address?

SSID stands for “service set identifier,” and it is used to uniquely identify any given wireless network. You can think of it as the IP address for a wireless network. However, if the SSID is hidden, a user must know the exact SSID to jump on that wireless network.

  1. Enter your router’s IP address into your favorite web browser.
  2. Log in as the administrator.
