An Access Point (AP) is a networking device that allows Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as phones, laptops, TVs and tablets to connect to a wired network or the internet wirelessly.
In an ISP or hotspot network, an access point connects users to the network while the router or billing system handles functions such as routing, authentication and bandwidth control. Outdoor access points are commonly used to provide Wi-Fi coverage across larger areas.
