Your SSID is the name of your network you log in to and the passphrase is the password you use to log in.  If you use a home network and don't know these, then the walrus and the carpenter shed a bitter tear.

It may also be asking for the administration password of your router/hub. I'm not sure why it would be, though - when I set my X1000 wireless card up, I only needed to enter the SSID (name of my wifi network) and password.
All these usernames and passwords will have been provided to you by your ISP.


There is never a reason a client device would need administrative access to your router.

I'm reaching here, but I'm just guessing that questions about what is the SSID and paraphrase might take precedence over the questions just asked about 802.11g/b, WAN WEP, WPA, and bandwidth.

This is only my opinion, mind you.

Yep, still missing the forest because of all the trees in the way...
