SSID - How do I find it?

I need to know the SSID to my home network in order to setup an iFit Live module that came with the NordicTrack treadmill that I purchased. (When set-up, the iFit module will enable me to use Google maps to create a "walking path on my treadmill" of anywhere in the world. Should be cool if I can ever get it to work!) The iFit live rep could not help me find the SSID number to my home network. I use a MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, with an Airport Express 802.11n. I also use Time Warner cable (RoadRunner), a Motorola cable modem (Surfboard SB5101), and a Linksys BEFSR41. My wireless network has WPA2 Personal security. I sure hope someone can help me.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

The SSID is the name that you have assigned to your wireless network.

If you are using wireless now, click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your screen. There will be a check mark next to your SSID (network name).

Just a small clarification... the check mark will be next to the wireless network which you are currently connected to.

That may, or may not, be your wireless network. 🙂
