2.6.6 Network Name (SSID)
All devices on the WLAN share a common network name or SSID (Service
Set IDentifier). This name is required to establish connection between the
Ericsson W21 and other wireless device(s) and to distinguish the wireless
network from any other(s) that may be in use nearby.
Only devices configured with the same network name (SSID) as the one
set on the Ericsson W21 can obtain access to it. It is recommended to
change the preconfigured network name “FWT” to something else that
makes it harder for unauthorized persons to access your wireless network.
The following settings concerning the network name are displayed and can
be modified on the Wireless LAN page:
