Access Point

An access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network (WLAN) by connecting to a wired router, switch, or hub via Ethernet and projecting a Wi-Fi signal to a designated area. Access points have been in use since the 1990s and achieved mainstream adoption with the development of Wi-Fi. They can be found in homes, businesses, and public places to provide wireless connectivity for mobile devices. Access points are used to allow employees or the public to connect to a network without needing a physical Ethernet connection.

History of Access Points

The first wireless access points predated Wi- •


Fi. Proximal Corporation (a distant relative of
Proximal Wireless) produced the first such
devices, branded RangeLAN2, starting in
1994. Access points achieved mainstream
adoption soon after the first Wi-Fi
commercial products appeared in the late
.1990s
?What is Access Point
An access point is a device that creates a •
wireless local area network, or WLAN, usually
in an office or large building. An access point
connects to a wired router, switch, or hub via
an Ethernet cable, and projects a Wi-Fi signal
to a designated area
Most access points have built-in routers, while .
others must be connected to a router in order
to provide network access. In either case,
access points are typically hardwired to other
devices, such as network switches or
.broadband modems
For example, if you want to enable Wi-Fi access . •
in your company's reception area but don’t have a
router within range, you can install an access
point near the front desk and run an Ethernet
.cable through the ceiling back to the server room
What the wireless access point
?connects to

An access point connects to a Modem router, •


switch, or hub via an Ethernet cable, and
projects a Wi-Fi signal to a designated area
The AP usually connects to a router (via a wired
network) as a standalone device, but it can also
be an integral component of the router itself. An
AP is differentiated from a hotspot, which is the
physical location where Wi-Fi access to a WLAN is
available
Access points can be found in many
places, including houses, businesses, and
public locations. In most houses, the
access point is a wireless router, which
cable modem is connected to a DSL or
?What Is a WAP Used For
Stand-alone access points are small physical
devices that closely resemble home 
broadband routers. Wireless routers used for
home networking have access points built
into the hardware and work with stand-alone
.AP units
What Is a WAP Used For?

An access point acts as a central transmitter and


receiver of wireless radio signals. . Mainstream
wireless APs support Wi-Fi and are used in homes,
public internet hotspots, and business networks to
.accommodate wireless mobile devices
?What Is a WAP Used For

When you use a tablet or laptop to go


online, the device goes through an
access point, either hardware or built-
in, to access the internet without
connecting using a cable
Techopedia explains Wireless Access
Point (WAP

Wireless access points (WAP) may be used to


provide network connectivity in office
environments, allowing employees to work
anywhere in the office and remain connected to
.a network

In addition, WAPs provide wireless Internet


in public places, like coffee shops, airports
.and train stations
