Small Wireless Network Components for Tech+
Short answer
Small wireless networks commonly use: Wireless router - Often combines router + switch + access point in one device. - Connects your local network to the internet and provides Wi-Fi. Access point (AP) - Provides Wi-Fi connectivity to the LAN. - Often used to extend coverage beyond a single router's range. Simple scenario logic: - Need Wi-Fi in a home -> wireless router. - Need better Wi-Fi coverage in a larger space -> add an access point. Out of scope: mesh tuning, enterprise AP modes, VLANs.
