Determining the FRITZ!Box's BSSID

A BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) serves as a unique identifier of a wireless access point, for example a router or a repeater, in a Wi-Fi network. Some applications for setting up Wi-Fi connections require you to enter a BSSID when you want to set up a Wi-Fi connection to your FRITZ!Box.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
