I need an expert to answer the following questions:
• How has the role of the SSID evolved with the rise of mesh networks and smart home devices?
Context; how SSIDs are managed across multiple access points and how devices connect intelligently—something that has become more relevant with modern networking setups.
• What are some common security misconceptions users have about SSIDs, and what best practices would you recommend today?
Context: SSID broadcasting, hiding SSIDs, WPA3 usage, and how SSIDs can be used (or misused) in securing networks.
• As Wi-Fi 6 and 6E become more widespread, do SSIDs play any different role in performance or user experience?
Context: linking the topic of SSIDs to newer wireless standards and highlighting whether or how network naming and management impacts performance or compatibility in modern networks.
You'll be a network engineer or administrator, IT infrastructure manager, wifi security analyst or in product development at a wifihardware provider.
