I plugged the linksys rtp300 and it works and the phone works but I can't seem to figure out what the ssid is for my laptopis. Any help would be appreciated? Thank you!

The RTP300 isn't a wireless router.

The ssid (service set identifier) is broadcast by a wireless router, not your computers. As butterman pointed out, the RPT300 is not a wireless router so it cannot broadcast an ssid.

I think you got confused with the word router. there are two types: router and wireless router. The wireless router usually has the acronymn wrt.

So in your case, rtp = router + phone adapter

If you want a wireless router, you need to look for something like wrt54g = wrt = wireless router.
