Choosing the right WiFi access point for your home. Creating a Home Wi-Fi Hotspot

Let me start with the fact that the router itself, which you want to make an access point, is an access point, only more functional. It runs a DHCP server that distributes IP, most likely there is a firewall, and roughly speaking it builds routes between connected devices, which is why it is a router. So, to turn a router into an access point, you just need to disable some functions in it and connect it via cable to another router, or to a modem.

In the hotel article, I already wrote. You can read it if interested. There I promised to show in detail, using the example of different routers, the settings that need to be made to use the router as a Wi-Fi access point.

Let's use an example to find out for what purposes this mode of operation may be suitable. Let's say you have a modem or router installed on the ground floor, or at one end of the house. Which may or may not distribute Wi-Fi, it doesn’t matter. So, at the other end of the house, or on another floor, we need to install an access point to distribute Wi-Fi. In this case, the connection between the router and the access point will be via a network cable.

If we install an access point at the other end, the main router will distribute IP addresses, and the devices will be on the same network, which is often very important. Also, the access point mode can be useful for distributing Wi-Fi from a modem that does not have this capability. In fact, there are many possible uses. Otherwise, access points simply would not be sold as separate devices. Because they wouldn't make sense.

Please note that most routers can operate in other modes, which may suit you better:

  • Repeater mode– suitable if your goal is simply to expand your existing Wi-Fi network with another router. On our website there are instructions for, as well as. After setup, there will be one Wi-Fi network, just enhanced. Internet via cable from the “repeater” will also be available.
  • WDS Wireless Bridge Mode– this is practically the same as the access point mode, but here the connection between the routers is not via cable, but via a Wi-Fi network. I wrote in more detail about setting up such a connection in the article: . It is shown in detail using the example of popular routers: ASUS, TP-LINK, D-Link, Zyxel. There is also a detailed one.

Sorry that there is so much information and links already at the beginning of the article, but these issues needed to be sorted out.

As for the “access point” operating mode, also known as AP (Access Point), this mode is configured differently on routers from different manufacturers. For example, on routers from ASUS and Zyxel, just enable Access Point mode in the control panel, connect the devices with a network cable, and you're done. But on devices from TP-LINK, you need to manually change the router’s IP address and disable the DHCP server.

Connecting an access point to a router (modem):

We connect both devices with a network cable. On the main router (modem), we connect the cable to the LAN port (Home Network), and on the access point router, also to the LAN port.

From an access point, the Internet via a network cable also works. For many this is important.

Setting up an ASUS router in access point (AP) mode

On ASUS routers, as a rule, the AP operating mode is enabled in the control panel. After which, we simply connect it to the router or modem and everything is ready. On some models, for example on the old RT-N13U, modes are switched with a special switch on the device body. I will show you how to configure an access point using the Asus RT-N12 router as an example.

We connect to the router, and at the address 192.168.1.1, go to its settings. In the settings, go to the "Administration" tab. And at the top is the "Operating Mode" tab. We put the switch next to “Access point (AP) mode”. Read the description of the mode and click “Save”.

In the next window we need to set the IP settings. You don’t have to change anything, just click “Next”. But, in this case, to determine the IP address of the access point, you will need to use the special “Discovery” utility. Or you can, where “Obtain IP automatically”, put no, and change the last digit. For example, on 192.168.1.2. Now, the settings will be available at this address. DNS, if necessary, can be specified as in the screenshot below. Or, leave it automatic.

In the next window, if necessary, change the Wi-Fi network settings of our ASUS access point and click “Apply”.

The router will reboot and go into AP mode. If you go to its settings, at the address that you may have specified yourself, or which can be determined using the “Discovery” utility (you can download it from the link), then you will see a stripped-down control panel. Where you can change the necessary settings, or, for example, return the device to the “Wireless Router” operating mode.

After setup, connect the Access Point to the router or modem via cable (there is a diagram above), and it will distribute Wi-Fi.

Access point from Zyxel Keenetic router

If I'm not mistaken, only the Keenetic Lite III model has a mechanical operating mode switch on the case. In all other cases, . I immediately advise you to set up a Wi-Fi network (set the network name and password, if necessary), so as not to have to deal with entering the AP settings later.

To activate access point mode on Zyxel, go to the "System" tab, and open the "Mode" tab at the top. Select "Access point - Wi-Fi zone extension with Ethernet connection" and click the "Apply" button.

Allow the router to reboot. After this, you can connect it to another router, and it will already work in “Access Point” mode.

To go into its settings, you can first go to the settings of the main router (modem), go to the list of clients, and look at the IP address of our Zyxel there. And then use it to go to the web interface. Or you can simply reset the settings, and the router will work in normal “Internet Center” mode.

TP-LINK router as a Wi-Fi access point

If you have a device from TP-LINK, you will need to manually change several parameters. Since there is no operating mode switch there. Now I’ll show you step by step what and how to do. I will show it using the example of a router.

1 First, go to the one that we want to configure in wireless access point mode. And change the IP address of the router. To do this, open the “Network” – “LAN” tab. We need to set an IP address the same as that of the main router (can be viewed on the device itself), just with a different number at the end. For example: if the IP address of the main modem (router) is 192.168.1.1, then in the TP-LINK settings you need to set 192.168.1.2 and save the settings. The router will reboot.

Go to settings again, but at a new address. In my case, it is 192.168.1.2.

2 Setting up a Wi-Fi network. If necessary, on the "Wireless" tab, set the Wi-Fi settings for our access point. Enter the network name and password.

3 Last step. Disable the DHCP server. To do this, go to the "DHCP" tab. Place the switch next to “Disable” and save the settings.

And reboot the router. You can do it through the control panel. "System Tools" tab - "Reboot", "Reboot" button.

We connect it to the main router (LAN - LAN), and we get a Wi-Fi access point.

Setting up Access Point on Netis routers

On my Netis router, I just changed the IP address, disabled DHCP, and everything worked. Go to settings at netis.cc.

Open the “Network” – “LAN” tab. Change the IP address. If the main router or modem has 192.168.1.1, then write 192.168.1.2. So that only the last digit would differ. We also disable the DHCP server there. And save the settings.

If necessary, go to the settings again (already at the new address that was specified), and on the “Wireless Mode” tab set the Wi-Fi settings.

We connect our Netis access point to the main device with a network cable (LAN - LAN), and everything is ready.

Wireless access points can be seen in offices. Flat boxes are designed for optimal wireless signal transmission. Network functions—connecting to the Internet (network gateway), security (firewall), and managing local networks (assigning IP addresses and routing)—are performed by other devices.

Unlike a professional environment, a router on a private home network performs all network functions, including creating a wireless network. This means that trade-offs have to be made, and the disadvantages are most pronounced in network performance. The location of the router in most cases is determined not by optimal coverage, but by the location of the network outlet. At the same time, the connected cables do not allow the device to be placed high, which would provide optimal conditions for the wireless network.

In addition, wireless technologies are developing faster than all others. So, in a five-year-old router, only the wireless network standard is outdated, and all other components still work quite well. In addition, fine-tuning for most functions is only available in fairly expensive routers, which further tips the scales against the new (that is, expensive) model. However, available devices operating only in the 2.4 GHz band (for example, from a provider) can be upgraded with modern 5 GHz technology using an access point.

Using Powerline technology, an access point can provide a wireless network to another floor or another part of the house

Access points for professional wireless networks

Access points supporting the 802.11ac standard cost about 6,000 rubles, that is, no more than a good wireless network repeater. With a powerful transmitter and more convenient placement options, the access point can expand the coverage of your router's network or replace it entirely. Whereas previously these dedicated function stations were only available to experienced users (as they were designed to be used as part of a complex infrastructure), modern models additionally offer a convenient web interface for basic configuration.

The new Netgear WAC510, which can be configured via a smartphone app, demonstrates that access points can be very easy to use. On the next two pages we'll talk about testing this device, as well as the more affordable TP-Link EAP245 with support for 802.11ac with a data transfer rate of 1300 Mbps.


The professional access point comes with a mount that allows you to mount it on a ceiling, wall or cabinet

Connection and operating modes

Access points can connect to the router in fundamentally different ways and operate in different modes, of which we have identified four main ones.

> Replacing the router's wireless network. The access point is connected to the router’s network port (LAN) and to the power supply (for network equipment that supports Power over Ethernet, a standard twisted pair cable is sufficient). The access point forms a new wireless network. Computers and other devices that connect to it receive IP addresses and Internet access from the router, meaning they are on its network as if they were connected to its Wi-Fi. In this case, you only need to perform simple initial setup in the access point's web interface. If the router and access point are working in the same room, it is better to completely turn off the wireless network in the first room so as not to interfere with the access point's signal.


The Netgear WAC510 access point operates in router mode, in which it assigns IP addresses itself

> Expanding the wireless network of routers. If neither the access point nor the router individually is able to spread the network throughout the entire apartment, it is worth trying to combine their efforts. Using a long twisted pair cable or powerline adapter, place the access point in the location where you want to optimize wireless coverage. In this case, in the web interface of the access point you need to specify the same wireless network name (SSID) and WPA2 password as in the router’s network settings, but at the same time different channels - the farther they are from each other, the better (for example, for the band 2.4 GHz channels 1 and 13).

Client devices will automatically find the strongest signal within their range, even as you move around rooms with them. Similar functionality is offered by devices called Powerline Wi-Fi Extender, designed to expand coverage: they combine a Powerline adapter and a wireless transmitter. The advantages of a “real” access point are larger antennas and more flexible placement options (for example, ceiling or cabinet installation), which promises better signal transmission.


In WDS mode, the WAC510 works as a wireless repeater, but first you need to configure WDS in the base router

> Instead of a repeater. If connecting the access point to the router via cable or Powerline is not possible, you can optimize the router's network using wireless distribution technology - Wireless Distribution System (WDS). An access point differs from a regular repeater in having larger antennas, which means it can expand the coverage area and increase the data transfer rate.

> Access point in router mode. Netgear WAC510 can be used as a router, with which you can not only create a network, but also manage it. However, to connect to the Internet you need an Ethernet Uplink connection - for example, using a cable modem or LTE modem. The device is not able to establish a DSL connection on its own.


Access point with configuration application
Router, WDS repeater or just an access point - the Netgear WAC510 features multiple use cases

Rich Features: Netgear WAC510

This hotspot is easily set up with the Netgear Insight smartphone app. If we take into account the relatively low cost, the device becomes attractive also for private use.

The Netgear Insight Android and iOS app makes initial setup of the WAC510 easy and simple

In the simplest case, the first launch process goes as follows. The WAC510 is connected via twisted pair to an existing router. The Netgear Insight application is installed on a tablet or smartphone connected to the router’s wireless network, which launches the assistant window. Next you need to open the menu “Access Point | ... WiFi Discovery | Connect to WIFI... | Discover Device”, click on the access point, select the country in which the device operates (this is necessary in order to determine which channels the access point can use), set the network name (SSID) and WPA2-PSK password - that’s all.

Powerful web interface

After basic settings, connect client devices to the WAC510 wireless network. Cable devices can be connected through its additional network port. More detailed settings can be found in the WAC510 web interface. To open them, find the access point's IP address in the router's web interface. First of all, you need to change the standard login and password “admin/password” - they are located in the “Management | Configuration | System | Advanced | User Accounts".

Among the additional options of the WAC510, an example is the WDS setting, which is located in the “Configuration” section. This technology allows you to combine several access points into a single wireless network with centralized management - detailed instructions are in the user manual. You can configure the WAC510 for use as a router through the “Configuration | System | Basic" - all configurations are completely reset there, including the name of the wireless network.


For those interested, the Netgear web interface provides the ability to configure all the details of a wireless network

Hands-on testing of the configuration and use of the WAC510 web interface left good impressions, although the device sometimes took a little longer to apply changes (primarily restarting) than we would have liked. Performance measurements using the JPerf benchmark on an HP Pro X2 tablet with an Intel AC 8265 Wi-Fi chip were initially a little disappointing, especially in the 2.4 GHz band, which is where older smartphones, TVs and other simpler client devices operate. The Netgear access point achieved the highest speed, evenly in all directions, when the client device was located next to and at the same level with it.

That is, the signal emission is obviously optimized for uniform coverage of the surrounding area rather than for directional action in one direction, so a network with several client devices will demonstrate good performance if these devices are well distributed in space. However, Netgear's peak performance far exceeds that of weaker older routers and repeaters. Power consumption in standby mode is about half that of a full-fledged wireless router, and during data transfer it hardly increases (from 4.3 to approximately 4.5 W).


Netgear WAC510 vs TP-Link EAP245
TP-Link hotspot delivers better performance while Netgear offers more use cases with its variety of features

At high speeds: TP-Link EAP245

In appearance, the TP-Link EAP245 resembles Netgear (and many other access points). But here you can only establish an Uplink connection with the router (WAN) via twisted pair, and it is impossible to connect a client device. In addition, there is no provision for using the device as a repeater and there is no configuration application for a smartphone.


Wireless Network Specialist
The TP-Link EAP245 offers fewer features than the Netgear, but its wireless network is more powerful and it costs less

But TP-Link costs a little less than Netgear, and in the 802.11ac standard it reaches data transfer speeds of not 866, but as much as 1300 Mbit/s. The easiest way to set up is in the web interface. The IP address can be found, as in the case of Netgear, in the router's web interface. When starting for the first time, first set a username and a strong password for the web interface. The input system works in an orderly manner, responds instantly, and the device quickly applies changes.


Attention: for TP-Link EAP245 you must first additionally activate WPA encryption for both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands

The real security flaw in the device is that it creates two open networks by default (in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands), which require separate measures to protect. To do this, on the “Wireless” and then “SSIDs” tab, click on the notepad icon next to “Modify”. Specify the name of the wireless network (SSID), for “Security Mode” select “WPA-PSK”, for “Version” - “WPA2-PSK”, enter a strong password for “Wireless Password” and confirm the changes by clicking the “OK” button below. Then at the top of the page, switch to the 5GHz network and repeat the same.

Access points: range

Due to the popularity of access points in the business segment, the range of these devices is very wide, especially from specialized network equipment suppliers such as D-Link, Lancom or Ubiquity. Such devices cost more than 10,000 rubles and offer extensive functionality that is not used at home. Therefore, for testing we chose two affordable simple models from Netgear and TP-Link.

High speed wireless network

All other default settings of the EAP245 are intuitive. Some options may be interesting for commercial use of the device, for example, a splash page with terms of use. The Scheduler function, which turns the wireless network on and off according to a schedule, is practical for home use.


EAP Controller provides centralized management of dozens of access points

In terms of performance, the EAP245 was impressive in both 802.11ac 5 GHz and 802.11n 2.4 GHz networks. Compared to Netgear, TP-Link's routed signal strength is greater - maximum speed was achieved when the logo panel was facing the client device. But thanks to its greater speed resources, in the use case we measured, TP-Link was faster than Netgear in all directions.

Overall, TP-Link's EAP245 is a good choice for those who want a pure access point with the best possible performance at a low price. Buying a Netgear WAC510 will be worth it in cases where, first of all, the device should be simple (controllable from an application) or used not only as an access point, but also as a router or WDS device. One way or another, professional devices will once and for all solve almost all problems of coverage and transmission speed.

Tell us about the Wi-Fi wireless access point modes used in professional ZyXEL access points.

Below we will consider the main modes of professional wireless Wi-Fi access points, as well as in what cases one or another mode is used.

Access Point (AP) Mode

In this mode, the device will work as a regular Wi-Fi wireless access point, i.e. in this mode, clients (laptops, desktop computers, PDAs, communicators, smartphones, etc.) are given the opportunity to gain wireless access to the device (if the client devices have a Wi-Fi 802.11n/g/b wireless adapter) to connect to the Internet and to wired network resources.
Access Point mode is the simplest and most commonly used operating mode of a wireless access point.

The wireless access point has an SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is used to identify the wireless network (defines the name of the network), and this is what the wireless adapter sees when viewing available wireless networks and then uses it to connect.

Wireless Bridge Mode

In this mode, the device is used to connect two wired networks independent of each other. Can also be used as a wireless Ethernet extender to connect two network segments.

AP/Bridge Mode (AP+Bridge)

When using shared AP/Bridge mode, the wireless access point simultaneously acts as a regular Wi-Fi access point for wireless clients and as a wireless bridge between its own wireless network and the remote wireless network.

AP/Bridge mode also allows you to connect three or more wireless networks:

Wireless Repeater Mode (Bridge/Repeater)

Repeater mode (repeater, repeater) is necessary for connecting two wireless access points in cases where establishing direct communication between them is not possible. In fact, in this mode, the device relays radio signals between access points.
For example, device R acts as a repeater, providing communication between devices B1 and B2, which act as bridges:

An access point in Repeater mode can connect more than two bridge points. In addition, if necessary, you can connect two wireless points with a “chain” of several repeater points.

Information on connecting the G-3000 and NWA-3160 wireless access points in Bridge/Repeater mode can be found in the article: KB-1996

Roaming mode

Roaming mode is not a stand-alone mode, but an additional feature to the access point (AP) mode.

Let's assume that if there are several access points in a network environment, then wireless stations (clients), moving between their coverage areas, can switch from one point to another. This process is called roaming. Moving from place to place, a wireless station must choose the most suitable access point in terms of signal strength, network load and other factors.
The roaming function allows access points to transmit information about wireless stations among themselves. Moving from one coverage area to another, the wireless station finds the channel of the new access point, and then informs the other access points on the local network about the change.
While roaming, a mobile wireless LAN user does not experience any interruptions in the connection to the wired network through the access point (there may be a slight delay with the loss of one or two pings).
The roaming feature allows bridges to share the latest information about all wireless stations moving between access points. However, even with roaming disabled, wireless stations can connect to other access points. Enabling this feature ensures that traffic is forwarded correctly (bridge tables are updated) and the access point operates at maximum efficiency.

Let's give an example of how roaming works.

The wireless station (laptop) moves from the coverage area of ​​access point AP1 to the coverage area of ​​AP2.
The wireless station finds the AP2 signal.
The station sends a connection request to AP2.
Access point AP2 allows the presence of a station in its area and transmits information about this to access point AP1 through the wired network.
Access point AP1 registers the new position of the wireless station.

For more information on ensuring uninterrupted communications in large distributed wireless networks using roaming, you can find the following article: “Description of the roaming function in professional wireless access points of the NWA series”

It is unlikely that anyone can imagine their life without the Internet. Today, the World Wide Web has covered both computers and mobile gadgets. Moreover, the connection speed on smartphones and tablets sometimes even exceeds that of desktop PCs. If you want to create a high-speed wireless connection in your home at a reasonable price, then you should know how to choose the right access point.

Selecting a device

Stylish and ultra-fast Buffalo WZR-1750DHP

Transmitter power and antenna gain

These are two main parameters that are responsible for the quality of signal reception and transmission. As you might guess, the transmitter power characterizes the level of radiation at the output, that is, it determines the range of signal propagation by the access point. For home use, you can choose a device with 13-17 dBm.

As for the gain (directivity) of the antenna, this parameter determines the level of radiation in certain directions. The principle of operation of the KU can be explained using the example of a flashlight: the larger the radius of the light beam of the flashlight, the closer it shines, than when the light flux has a smaller radius. It’s the same with an antenna: the wider the directivity coefficient, the higher its dissipation and the lower its gain. Returning to access points, we can say that antennas with indicators in the region of 9-10 dBi are capable of organizing an excellent signal only in certain areas of the room. Analogues with a 4-5 dBi control unit distribute an even signal throughout the house.

We take into account data encryption

First-class data transfer speeds are, of course, good, but neither a budget nor the most “advanced” access point can do without the proper level of protection. And if the problem were only unauthorized connections of users looking for free Wi-Fi. The fact is that with a set of special programs and skills, hackers are able to completely stop the operation of your station. To prevent this, be sure to consider the type of data encryption.

We strongly recommend choosing a device with WPA2 security. This is the type of encryption that the Wi-FiADSL access point has. Thanks to the use of the AES algorithm, the level of information security, compared to the WEP and WPA standards, is significantly increased.

Reliably protected D-link DSL-G804V

Additional functions

In addition to the basic capabilities, some access points have additional functions. Sometimes they come in very handy, and therefore it’s worth paying attention to their list:

  • The print server function allows you to connect a printer to the station and make it accessible to any computer on the local network;
  • PoE support provides the ability to transmit both data and electrical energy via a regular twisted pair cable to remote devices on an Ethernet network;
  • The FTP server allows you to work with the access point as a device for storing files on its hard drive or on a connected USB flash drive;

We decide on the manufacturer

When the selection according to all the necessary parameters is completed, you can proceed to selecting the company that developed the access point. it's the same important point, because the more authority a company has, the greater the confidence in its products.

Now the clear industry leaders are D-link, TP-LINK, Asus, ZyXEL and TRENDnet. Among the list of devices produced by these manufacturers there are both budget solutions for performing basic tasks and multifunctional products for serious work. The choice is truly huge - you just have to make it.

Choose any one for yourself

Summary

Do you want to distribute Wi-Fi to mobile gadgets from an existing network? Or maybe you need to combine several PCs into one network? In this case, the access point is the device that you were looking for and have already found. But in order to choose it correctly, you need to take into account many nuances: type, Wi-Fi standard, transmitter power and other details - we tried to talk about all this as clearly as possible in our article. We hope you found the above information helpful.

Wireless networks today are used not only to connect a computer to the Internet. Tablets, smartphones, smart TVs and other “smart” equipment use this technology to connect to the Internet. Well, to organize a home Wi-Fi network you will need a device such as a wireless access point.


What does an average user need to know when purchasing a device to create a Wi-Fi network at home?


For a small apartment or private house, almost any Wi-Fi access point or router is suitable, therefore, if you have a small home, you can purchase the cheapest device.


A more complex situation is a spacious private house or a multi-room apartment in an old building. In a spacious home, the cheapest Wi-Fi access point may not reach every room, especially if the walls between rooms are solid. In such a situation, you will have to purchase a more powerful Wi-Fi access point or router. Another way out is to buy two cheap points and set them up to work together. Another method to consider is purchasing an access point and repeater. The specific location of access points or point and repeater (repeaters) is individual and depends on the configuration of the housing, the number of floors, and the materials from which the floors and walls of the house are made.


Is it worth buying more expensive access points?


To create a Wi-Fi network in a room or small apartment, budget equipment is quite suitable. Yes, today you can find devices on sale that support the latest standards and frequencies, but the increase in operating efficiency will only be noticeable if they are supported by client devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones).


You may also have the following questions:


Is it worth buying an access point with multiple ? It is desirable to have at least two antennas.


Is it important that the antenna at the point is removable? This is convenient if in the future you want to change it to one that has a higher gain.


Do you need additional access point capabilities? For normal home use - no, but the ability to work with 3G or 4G USB modems will be a plus.

Laptop owners prefer to create their own wireless point at home access with the possibility of access to Internet. This allows you to preserve the main advantage of using mobile devices.

Instructions

First select the Wi-Fi router (). This device must have a sufficient signal propagation area, and also match the characteristics of laptop wireless adapters. Read the instructions for your mobile devices.

If you do not have a paper version of the manual, then visit the official website of the manufacturer of your laptop model or this wireless adapter. Buy a suitable Wi-Fi router.

Install this device in the required location. Connect it to the mains. Connect the connection cable to the WAN (DSL) or Internet connector located on the device body.

Turn on your laptop or desktop. Connect its network card to the Ethernet (LAN) connector of the router. Launch your browser. Fill in the web address input field with the IP address of the Wi-Fi router. You can find it in the instructions for the equipment.

Now create your own Wi-Fi hotspot access. To do this, go to the Wireless Setup menu. Set the password (password) and name (SSID) of your wireless point access. Choose from the available types of data encryption the one your laptops can handle. Save point parameters access.

Video on the topic

To connect mobile computers and other devices working with Wi-Fi networks to the Internet, special equipment is used. It is necessary to create a point access to a wireless network.

Usually wireless dots access They call the devices themselves with which the network is created. Their main purpose is to connect several computers, tablets and communicators into a wireless local network. Modern points access can perform a variety of functions. The use of wireless technologies eliminates the need to lay a large number of network cables. Naturally, when using Wi-Fi routers, users can maintain the mobility of their laptops, because... there is no need to connect cables to them access to the Internet. Routers and routers can be used to create a common network that includes both wireless devices and desktop computers. Now wireless points access became widespread in public places. These could be cafes, airports, libraries, and so on. The use of wireless technologies makes it possible to provide clients and visitors with free Internet access. You can often find wireless hotspots access, used to create home networks. Installing your own Wi-Fi router allows you to connect several devices to the Internet at once, uniting them into a single network. This method allows you to save money without having to a large number of agreements with the provider. Large enterprises sometimes install several points access. They are combined into a common network, thereby ensuring communication between all computers and laptops located in a given area. This method allows you to organize a single wireless network even in residential areas. It is worth noting that wireless points access allow for quick control over the local network they form. Sometimes this makes the task much easier for network administrators.

The widespread use of laptops has led to the fact that many people prefer to use wireless networks inside their own home or apartment. To create a Wi-Fi access point, it is recommended to use certain devices.
