SSID (Service Set Identier)
SSID is a group name shared by every member of a wireless network. Only
client PCs with the same SSID are allowed to establish a connection. Enabling
the Response to Broadcast SSID requests option allows the device to
broadcast its SSID in a wireless network. This allows other wireless devices
to scan and establish communication with the device. Unchecking this
option hides the SSID to prevent other wireless devices from recognizing and
connecting to the device.
Station

Subnet Mask

to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network.

service on which many application protocols depend. TCP allows a process
or one machine to send a stream of data to a process on another. Software
implementing TCP usually resides in the operating system and uses the IP to
transmit information across the network.
WAN (Wide Area Network)

located in separate areas, (i.e., dierent buildings, cities, countries). The Internet
is a wide area network.
