What is an Access Point in Computer Networks?
What is an Access Point in Computer Networks?
Access Point is the common name of devices that connect multiple computers, mobile devices, smartphones, and all devices that can access the Internet.
Access Points are generally used to convert wired connections to wireless connections. In addition to the ability of APs to convert wired internet to wireless wifi internet, it can also be used as a signal repeater.
Repeater mode in Access Points is generally preferred indoors to provide internet access to endpoints or by users who do not want to experience cable pollution.
APs are produced for indoor and outdoor environmental conditions. Outdoor Access Points are produced with a special working principle in order to ensure signal continuity in bad weather conditions, and their durability is higher than indoor products.
What Does Access Point Do?
Access Points can undertake multiple functions. They convert the wired internet connection received via modem or switch into a wireless internet connection. In short, it provides a wireless network connection in an environment where there is no wireless network connection.
If you make the correct settings, the access points have the ability to strengthen the wireless network signal. It strengthens the current network signal and presents it to the environment. In this way, the wireless network connection is strengthened and the domain expands.
How to Connect Access Point?
The setup logic of the Access Point device is very similar to the ADSL modem setup. First of all, you need to establish a connection with an Ethernet cable between the ADSL modem that provides your internet connection and the access point device.
In cases where the signal strength of the ADSL modem is weak, the access point device is activated and expands the internet connection. In environments where signal strength may be low such as factories, schools, homes, and workplaces, we connect the modem and the access point device with an ethernet cable.
We plug the access point device into the socket. We plug the cable coming from the power adapter into the access point device and turn the device on by pressing the power button.
When these processes are implemented completely, the signal strength starts to spread from the access point device. Encryption is extremely important to encrypt the internet network in order to control the reliability of the internet connection and to prevent easy access to the interface of the access point device.
Security
Just as we connect to the interface of a normal modem, we can connect to the interface of the access point. The first thing required for this is a computer. First, we connect the computer and the access point device with an ethernet cable. In order to access the interface of the access point, we use the IP number if available in the manual or any of the IP addresses such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1.
