Sorry about my english, but from my understanding a WAP is just to provide wifi to computers and devices. But why people say it’s to connect to a wire network? this is something I don’t get
In: Technology
think of your wired network like a road for cars (cars are data traveling through cables).
The WAP is like a ramp that lets wireless cars (wifi signals) get on and off that road.
To do this, the WAP has to be connected to the wired road first so it can guide the wireless cars to and from it.
So when people say a WAP connects to a wired network, they mean it’s like a ramp that connects the wireless traffic to the main road, allowing wifi devices to access the internet and other network stuff.
