What is WiFi SSID ?
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is your WiFi name, which helps users distinguish between WiFi networks, especially in areas with many wireless networks.
SSID is displayed when users scan for nearby WiFi. However, with modems that have functions like turning off SSID, when you select the SSID off mode, it means that users scanning for WiFi will not be able to find the WiFi network you are using.
Hiding the SSID by selecting the SSID broadcast function will prevent others from knowing that there is WiFi around. But don't let this mislead your security concepts. Someone with special devices can still get your WiFi SSID even if you have selected the SSID off function.

To turn off the SSID broadcast function, you just need to log in to the modem's configuration page by typing the modem's IP address into a web browser. Usually, the default modem IP address is 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. You can flip the modem over to see the IP address. After entering the IP address, the modem will display a login screen. Enter the username and password. For modems from VNPT, Viettel, FPT, if you don't know the password, you can ask the hotline.
