Jim,

I searched for "qwest router ssid" on Google and clicked on the URL below.

Look at page 6 of this PDF file:

http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.qwest.com/internethelp/modems/motorola-3347/pdf/3347_WIFI_TS.pdf&sa=X&ei=VqR2TJzdFYn4sAO9ha2gDQ&ved=0CB8QzgQoATAA&usg=AFQjCNH6W3J2nCAu1qK3zfly30KWUEASeA


I think the answer is that the trailing four characters are static.
