MAC Address
Shows the MAC address for internal interface for this access point. This is
a read only box that you cannot change.

on the network as two nodes each with a unique MAC Address. This is
accomplished by using two different Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSIDs)
for a single access point.
The MAC address shown for the internal access point is the BSSID for the
internal interface.
For the dual-band AP (Gateway 7001 802.11 A+G Wireless Access Point),
two MAC addresses are shown: one for each radio on the internal interface.
SSID
Type the SSID for the internal WLAN.
The
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32
characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also
referred to as the Network Name. There are no restrictions on the characters
that may be used in an SSID.
