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
The data travels from the computer to the access point wirelessly. Then the access point is hardwired to the switch/router/modem. The modem is then hardwired to your ISPs cable they install from the street to your house. Then it travels over hardwired cables to Reddit’s routers/servers and back again. Basically everything is wired up except that tiny little last step between your laptop/phone and the access point.
