What is a Wireless Access Point (WAP)?

FAQ’s, tips and insights > Managed IT Services

A Wireless Access Point is a device that enables wireless devices—such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and printers—to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It functions like a central hub, allowing these devices to communicate with each other and access the internet without the need for physical cables.

The wireless access point broadcasts an SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is the name of the network users see when connecting via Wi-Fi. Once connected, the WAP helps manage network traffic, balances wireless bandwidth, and enforces security settings like encryption and access control.

WAPs are essential in both home and business environments where extended wireless coverage or high device density is required. In office setups, multiple access points are often deployed to create seamless, enterprise-grade wireless network infrastructure.
