I am interested in knowing what a device (like an iPhone) uses to remember and recognise my home wifi. Is it the IP address or something else? If anyone has an answer I would be really happy to see it, thanks. :wahoo:
 
Solution
It is the SSID you assigned to your home network. That along with the password allows it to connect only to your home network. If you use the same SSID and either leave it unsecured or use the same password as some other people it will connect to many different networks.
