What is the difference between an ESSID and an SSID?

Answer by  Ronaldo91 (345)

ESSID is an SSID specifically for wireless access points to which clients can connect. The SSID identifies the unique identity of the wireless connection distinct from the broadcast name. The other type of SSID is the BSSID which identifies ad-hoc networks, or the distinct clients and services operating in the wireless network.

Service set identifier, or SSID, means all devices are associated with a specific local or enterprise 802.11 wireless LAN. An Extended Service Set ESSID, is a set of one or more interconnected local area networks.
