Correct answer: uses the maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters, broadcasts by default.
Why this is the answer
An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of a Wi-Fi network. It can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, allowing for descriptive network names. By default, access points broadcast the SSID, making the network visible to devices scanning for Wi-Fi. This allows users to easily find and connect to the network. While an SSID identifies a Wi-Fi network, it does not control the network's speed; speed is determined by Wi-Fi standards (e.g., 802.11ac, 802.11ax) and signal quality. SSIDs are used in both standalone (autonomous) and controller-based Wi-Fi networks, not exclusively with the latter. An SSID can be used by multiple access points to create a larger coverage area, not just a single access point.
