What is an SSID, Anyway?
An SSID is your WiFi network’s name. It’s what you look for when connecting new devices to your WiFi. While it might seem trivial, an SSID is a small canvas for humor, personality, and sometimes, a bit of friendly neighborhood banter. Reminder that devices connecting to a previous SSID name will need to re-login to the updated WiFi name with their credentials. An updated SSID and network password is also a great way to kick-out any network free-loaders that you may have shared it with before.

Can Multiple Access Points Have The Same SSID?
Yes – With an Orbi Advanced Whole Home mesh network, you can have the same SSID throughout your entire home. Your high-performance devices will seamlessly connect to any Orbi Mesh Satellites in range (access points) as if they’re connecting to the Mesh Routers.
Separate SSID for IOT Devices & Guests
Advanced Orbi WiFi Mesh systems also make it easy to create a second SSID designed to connect only bandwidth-sipping IOT devices such as WiFi doorbells and smart thermostats. You can also create a separate guest-WiFi network that will let you temporarily share your amazing WiFi with friends and guests.
