❏ Access Point
An access point is a radio wave relay point that connects each device on the network. It also allows access to
other networks such as Ethernet networks.
❏ SSID
Unlike an Ethernet network, Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect to other devices. It is therefore possible to
accidentally connect to unintended devices. To prevent devices from connecting to unknown networks, you
need to specify which network to connect to. SSID (Service Set Identifier) is used to specify a network. If the
SSID does not match, a connection will not be established. Normally, devices or computers search for the SSID
set on the access point and establish a connection.
❏ Password
This is used to enter a security encrypted network. It is also known as a Pass phrase or Encrypted Key. You can
select a variety of encryption schemes, such as WEP and WPA, to encrypt your security.
