Anyone knows what this D-Link_Wireless SSID is for? My SSIDs are "dlink-1218" and "dlink-1218-5GHz".

 

Every time I connect to this network, it just shows up at the 5GHz one in connections manager.

Only my laptop and desktop could see this SSID though. My phone and brother's desktop was not able to detect this.

 

Is it like... For concurrent dual band or something?

I would first work out if it is your D-link router or someone else's. If you unplug your router for example, does it stick around or disappear? If it is confirmed it is from your router, then you need to poke around the settings and see what it is for. For example, my router is able to create multiple IDs so you can assign them to different groups e.g. one for yourself, and another for guest access with different limits applied.

Does d-link not provide a web UI to manage the router? at 192.160.0.1 or the respective ip to your network
