Question

In accordance with the Wireless Security Standards BBP, the ESSID/SSID broadcast option should be turned off at the access point?

a. TRUE
b. FALSE

Answer 1

True. The ESSID/SSID broadcast option will be turned off at the WAP.

Answer 2

ESSID stands for "Extended Service Set Identifier", which marks and identify the computer electronically in a wireless network to access the internet through the router or access point; the options "open/on" and "close/off" enable or disable the broadcast. SSID is pretty much the same: "Service Set Identifier" aka the network name.

Since Wireless Networks spread the data throughout the open space like Radio Frequencies, if one doesn't have the intention to share, when setting up the wireless access point with basic security making the router harder to find and avoid broadcasting the network, it's advisable to have it turned off or disabled. Thereby TRUE.
