consists of a 32-character string and is not case sensitive
responsible for determining the signal strength
 all wireless devices on the same WLAN must have the same SSID
used to encrypt data sent across the wireless network

12
Which statement is true concerning an ad-hoc wireless network?
created by connecting wireless clients in a peer-to-peer network
created by connecting wireless clients to a single, centralized AP
created by connecting multiple wireless basic service sets through a
distribution system
