I'm still trying to figure out where the WIFI SSID is set on the BBGW so I can customize it. I see this process running:

hostapd -B SoftAp0-hostapd.conf

The -B means "run in the background". So that leaves the SoftAp0-hostapd.conf file. Where is this configuration file? From what I can see on my BBGW, such a file does not exist.

In the seeed-iot image it's:

Thanks, Robert, that got me where I needed. For the sake of Google searches in the future, if anyone else is looking to change their SSID, see "options.ssid" in the file /usr/local/lib/node_modules/wificonfig/lib/wifi.js.
