Fire HD 8 Tablet...Getting hooked up to internet...??

[Maxheader]

My internet is 3g, the computer is an acer..out of the box is not wifi ready...I installed a netgear A6100
WiFi USB Adapter..It has a drive in the device manager and the netgear genie says it is ready to go... The setup page for the fire hd8 says I need to access the internet to setup the table...It is asking for an SSID number and I don't know what that is...the amazon help instruction says;

"To connect your Amazon device, such as your Kindle e-reader, Fire tablet, Fire phone, or Fire TV to a wireless network, you’ll first need to know the name of the Wi-Fi network, and the password for the network (if required).
Tip: Your network name may also be referred to as an SSID; your password may be referred to
as a passphrase or key.

To find your network name or password:

Check the sticker on the bottom of your router.
Check your installation guide or the owner's manual for your router.
View the wireless settings on a device that is already connected to your network, such as a Windows PC, Mac, or mobile phone.

I assumed that when I was connected to the internet...broadband to go...the installed wifi (netgear adapter) would hook up with the FireHD8..automatically, but it needs this SSID number...What are they asking for?
