What is the access point?
"Access point" refers to an object that serves as a connection or medium to get other devices access to the Internet or other network devices. This “access point” can be a small device, computer program or software or even an area where you can send and receive network data. Access points, depending on the type, can connect one or more users. With the need for modern devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, many households today have access points to connect all devices to the Internet. Public spaces, such as parks, restaurants and centers, provide unsecured access points for public consumption and use. Earlier use of the router needed a real cable or wire connection that connected it to a computer. It has been found that the cable network is trouble, especially in schools and offices, where more computers should be connected to only one access point with numerous cables. All wires took a lot of space on the ceilings,Inside walls and floors. The solution to this problem was the development and arrival of the wireless access point (WAP).
WAP is a type of access point that allows the device to connect to the net without using multiple cables. With an antenna, WAP is usually a small device connected to the router with a cable. Once the router and WAP are turned on, all devices such as a laptop, network connection, and Internet access, provided the device has wireless capacity enabled. Houses with WAPS should always secure their networks by encryption or password to avoid any unauthorized connection. The rule of the thumb with WAP is that the closer the device is to the access point, the better the connection.
Another type of access point Jebluetooth ™. The difference between WAP and Bluetooth ™ is a distance, as the latter can only be performed at a short -term distance. Bluetooth ™ allows the device to connect, frome -send and receive data together. Thanks to its short-term performance, Bluetooth ™ can also be used in other ways, such as Hands-free and wireless headset, wireless connection of external devices such as keyboard and mouse, and even multiplayer settings in console players.
