[Dnsmasq-discuss] Determine wireless SSID

[A C]

The only other method of exporting an SSID is via 802.1X (RADIUS)
authentication mechanisms which contain the SSID in the authentication
exchange.  However, this requires an 802.1X capable access point to
ensure the wireless device stays off the network until the
authentication is complete.

Typically controlling guest networks falls under either VLANs or 802.1X.
 The SSID, being an entirely internal attribute of the access point, is
not something that is routinely exported.  The only exceptions are the
mentioned DHCP Option 82 (assuming the access point supports Option 82
and can be told to include the SSID) or 802.1X/RADIUS (assuming the
access point supports 802.1X).

Typical consumer grade routers will likely not support DHCP Option 82
unless you have replaced the firmware with a custom version (such as
OpenWRT or similar) and modify its configurations to send the data.
