Wireless Access Point

A wireless access point (WAP) is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network via WIFI or alternate means. The WAP can either be a integrated part of a router or can be connected to one as a standalone device.

The Wireless access points are managed by a WLAN Controller which handles automatic adjustments to RF power, channels and security.

The Wap also supports multiple wireless encryption protocols such as WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
