SSID is simply the technical term for a Wi-Fi network name. When you set up a wireless home network, you give it a name to distinguish it from other networks in your neighbourhood. You'll see this name when you connect your devices to your wireless network.

WPA2 is a standard for wireless security, and is the default type of wireless security Bell Wi-Fi uses. Your WPA2 key is an alpha-numeric Wi-Fi network password. Without this password you cannot access your Bell Wi-Fi network.

S/N is the hub’s serial number. If you have a Home Hub 3000/4000 or a Giga Hub, it also serves as the default administrator password to access to your Internet and Wi-Fi settings.

P/N is the hub’s part number.

MAC is the hub’s physical address (for advanced users only).

ONT S/N is the fibre connection’s interface serial number.
