2. Wireless access point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

   Wireless access point. In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router, but in a wireless router it ...

3. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

   A mesh basic service set (MBSS) is a self-contained network of mesh stations that share a mesh profile, defined in 802.11s. [9] Each node may also be an access point hosting its own basic service set, for example using the mesh BSS to provide Internet access for local users. In such a system, the BSS created by the access point is distinct from ...

4. Wireless distribution system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

   A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves ...

   This Linksys WRT54GS, a combined router and Wi‑Fi access point, operates using the 802.11g standard in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using signalling rates up to 54 Mbit/s. IEEE 802.11 Wi-fi networks are the most widely used wireless networks in the world, connecting devices like laptops (left) to the internet through a wireless router (right)

7. Lightweight Access Point Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Access_Point...

   Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) is a protocol that can control multiple Wi-Fi wireless access points at once. This can reduce the amount of time spent on configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting a large network. The system will also allow network administrators to closely analyze the network. This system is installed in a central ...
