A wireless access point is an access point to a wireless network, commonly known as a "hotspot". In this mode the wireless router is equivalent to a wireless switch.
AP mode is the equivalent of a "wireless switch" that converts a wired network into a wireless network. In a home, hotel or small business network environment, if the original network can only be wired to the Internet, the 3G Mini router can provide wireless network coverage in AP mode
Wireless access points are mainly routing and switching access to the integrated device and pure access point devices, the integrated device performs the work of access and routing, the pure access device is responsible for only the access of the wireless client, the pure access device is usually used as a wireless network expansion, with the other AP device to provide wireless network coverage. Wireless network expansion is used to connect with other APs or the main AP to expand the wireless coverage, while the all-in-one device is generally the core of the wireless network.
Expanded Information:
All in all, it's a great way to get the most out of a wireless network. p>1, processor
Routers, like computers, contain a central processing unit (CPU). Whether in a low-end or mid-range router, the CPU is the heart of the router. The processors currently used in wireless routers are commonly of the ARM9 type.
2, memory
There are a variety of memory in the router, used as a storage configuration, router operating system, routing protocol software, etc. Theoretically speaking, the larger the router memory, the better, but the memory does not directly reflect the performance and ability of a wireless router!
Additionally, we can also see in the parameter table "support for VPN, firewall function, built-in print server, 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption" and so on, these parameters will be based on the price of the product, the positioning of the different differences; some products will also be accompanied by a USB port.
And in terms of security, we pay more attention to the type of encryption supported by the product, the more types of support, naturally, its security will have a higher guarantee; at the same time, the more features supported, the performance and price of course, the higher, the specific choice of demand of course, should be their own reality.
