Differences Between Wireless Networks
This post will help with CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ exams.
BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier)—This is the MAC address of the WAP (Wireless Access Point). There should never be two WAPs with the same BSSID; if so, one of them is most likely an evil twin used to capture traffic and credentials.
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier): Name all of your WAPs the same name to facilitate the transition of your wireless devices in your company as users move through the building, such as to different floors.
IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set): With this method, a WAP is not needed. The systems connect directly to each other ad hoc.
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a WAP's broadcast name. Changing the default name to a unique name makes it easier for users to know which WAP to connect.
