To allow a connection between the Bridge and an Access Point, the SSID of the two 
devices must be identical.   
 
Note:
 
If the Bridge is configured with an SSID of “any”, it will connect to the Access 
Point with the best signal, so long as all security settings match.

protocols for wireless local area networks (WLANs), defined in the 802.11 standard.

on a network.
