WAPs are wireless routers, not much different from what most people have in their home. Like you may have in your home with your modem connecting to your router, WAPS are usually connected to a networks server. By the way, all wireless connection is connected to a wired ‘modem’ in some way. One way WAPS may be different is they may contain multiple SSIDs (Wifi names)
