In other words, start by explaining what you are trying to connect. You may be jumping to the wrong conclusion when you ask about changing SSIDs.
Wow kind of disappointed I can't get a simple answer. All I was looking for is a "yes, this is the command" or "no, that functionality is not available". Thanks for offering your help in analyzing this but its not required in this instance, research done, conclusion determined. So can some please just provide a direct answer to the question "via Telnet there is a way to not only rename each SSID uniquely but set the password for each SSID uniquely"? Thanks in advance for only answering the question.
