What is the primary function of an Access Point in a wireless network?
To connect wireless devices to a wired network.
To direct traffic between different networks.
To distribute internet data evenly across connected devices.
To connect devices within the same network.
The primary function of an Access Point is to bridge the gap between wired and wireless networks by allowing wireless clients to connect to a wired network infrastructure. This is fundamental for creating a wireless network, as it provides the necessary interface for wireless clients to communicate with wired network resources and the internet. A router, although it can sometimes incorporate the functions of an access point, primarily directs traffic between different networks. A switch mainly operates in wired networks to connect devices within the same network, and a hub serves a similar purpose but does not manage traffic as efficiently as a switch.
