visible networks with SSID visible
What is SSID?
Service Set Identifier - effectively the name of the network, to distinguish
it from other networks that might be within network range of a PC that wants
to connect to the network.
By not broadcasting the SSID, any PC that wants to connect to a network must
be configured with the network's SSID - and if it can't supply that SSID, it
doesn't connect.
