What is router access point?

A router access point (AP) is a device that allows multiple devices to connect to a network wirelessly. It acts as a bridge between the wireless devices and the wired network. It can be used to extend the range of a wireless network or to create a new wireless network.

Router access points can operate in different modes, including access point mode, bridge mode, and repeater mode. In access point mode, the router AP acts as a central hub for wireless devices in the network. In bridge mode, it connects two wireless networks together and allows them to communicate. In repeater mode, the router AP extends the range of a wireless network.

Some features to consider when choosing a router access point include the wireless standard (e.g. 802.11ac), speed and range, number of antennas, compatibility with existing network components, and security features like encryption and password protection. It is also important to consider the number of devices that will be connecting to the network and the bandwidth requirements of those devices.
