Wireless access, also known as wireless APs, can be an effective complement to wireless routers and can serve as an extension of wired or wireless networks. For example, in the factory workshop, the workshop has a network interface connected to the cable network, and the workshop many information points because the distance is very far from the network cabling cost is very high, there are some information points due to the surrounding environment is relatively bad, can not be routed. Since these information points are distributed beyond the coverage radius of a single access point, we can use wireless access points for wireless access to the fabric network to expand the coverage of the wireless network.
Wireless AP is the effective complement of wireless router
Wireless APs cannot be directly connected to the ADSL modem, so you must add a switch or hub when you use it: When using the topology above, the AP and the use of the No line are the same. However, the majority of wireless routers because of the ability to dial broadband, so you can directly with the ADSL modem connection for broadband sharing.

The above is a more commonly used wireless AP network topology map.
Wireless AP Mode Networking Scheme
AP access point mode is the basic working mode of wireless AP, which is used to build centralized control network with wireless AP as the center, all communication is forwarded through AP, similar to the function of switch in wired network.

In this mode, the connection mode is roughly as shown in the following illustration:
Wireless access to AP mode network topology map
The AP can establish a wireless connection with the wireless network card, or it can establish a wired connection with the wired network card through the network cable. If there is only one LAN port, it is generally not used to connect directly to the computer, but to establish a connection with the wired network, directly connected to the front-end router or switch.
In this mode, wireless 1 to 13. The choice should be noted that if there are other wireless networks in the surrounding environment, try not to use the same frequency segment with it. Then select the mode of work of the wireless AP and pay attention to the wireless function, that is, do not select the "Turn off the wireless function" option. Select the Access point option to set the SSID number. Note that the SSID set on the wireless network connection to our wireless AP must be the same as the SSID number set on our wireless AP, otherwise the network cannot be accessed.
