Step 2: How do I secure my SSID (Service Set Identifier)?

The SSID is the alphanumeric character that identifies the WLAN Access Point (aka your home network).

All commercial WLAN Access Points come with standard out-of-the box SSID’s which could provide information to intruders who wish to exploit them.
