How do I find my SSID?

hafstad — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:05:15 GMT

I am using BT Home Hub for my broad band connection and trying to configure the wireless connection of a PC running Fedora. The Fedora menu when setting up the Belkin wirless card asks for the SSID name of the home network. When I open the BT Hub using my Wins XP PC it doesn't seem to have anything called an SSID.

4 places

1 - on the hub itself on i sticker underneath the hub

2 - on a businesscards that comes in the box

3 - "view available wireless networks" or "site monitor" shows a network name of BThomeHUB-XXX

4 - plug into the hub using ethernet, go to the GUI in internet explorer or other browser by typing in 192.168.1.254 or home, press enter. look for the wireless settings area. not sure where it is. will be under network or wireless or something
