The bssid ssid is the "name" of your router. You have that information not us...

Hello Manish,

can you confirm what exactly you are attempting to do? You can use the GUI for Network Manager in ubuntu to connect to Wireless networks.

You can also use tools like airodump-ng with a NIC in monitor mode to see your wireless networks bssid and your ssid

Open up a terminal by pressing CTRL, ALT and T together then enter the following command

sudo iwlist scan

Enter your password and you should see something similar to the following

warren@wmh-lt:~$ sudo iwlist scan
[sudo] password for warren:
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.

warren@wmh-lt:~$

This shows that I can currently see two routers one is mine and the other my neighbours. You can then switch your router off and do the scan again the one that dissapears is yours

Can you help with this problem?
