An ideal solution for small or large business networks or those working from home, wireless access points (APs or WAPs) transmit and receive wireless local area network radio signals. These compact dedicated pieces of hardware make wi-fi connections quick and easy to access through a built in network adapter, antenna and radio transmitter. Depending on range and specification, one wireless access point can serve up to 10 people but this can extend to thousands when you connect more than wireless access point to another.
