Sometimes referred to as AP/wireless hub or base station. This device transmits and receives Wi-Fi wireless signal (range approx 100M in open air and approx 25m in buildings depending on wall density. Some APs allow extended aerials to be fitted to increase range). Access points require a medium level of computer knowledge to set up correctly. Users are advised to secure Wireless Access Points with WEP or MAC address restriction to prevent unauthorised access.

In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP or AP) is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. The WAP usually connects to a wired network, and can relay data between wireless devices and wired devices. Several WAPs can link together to form a larger network that allows "roaming".
