Is a wireless access point the right solution for You?
If you find that a wireless access point isn’t the right solution for your space, consider a powerline networking kit, which transmits data over your home’s electrical power lines. Wireless access points are only as effective as where they’re placed – and in general, the higher the better.
How do I set up a wireless access point?
Most wireless access points are designed to be set up in one of three locations: Ceiling- and wall-mounted wireless access points are typically the size of a smoke detector, and ideal for covering entire rooms. Keep in mind that wherever you mount your wireless access point, it will need both power and, ideally, a wired internet connection.
How much does it cost to install wireless access points?
As you identify areas of particularly low signal, keep a list and plan on placing one or more wireless access points accordingly. When it comes to the cost of wireless access points, there are two price ranges to be aware of. In the $50 to $100 range, you’ll find options best suited for small apartments or dorm rooms.
What is a wireless access point?
Wireless access points are the perfect solution for any home that has a few problem areas where better WiFi is needed. A single wireless access point, when connected to your primary wireless router, acts as a secondary broadcast location for your same network. With a wireless access point installed, you get more of the network your devices need without the need for configuration changes to any of them.
What is a stand alone access point?
Standalone wireless access points sit on any surface and look just like a typical wireless router. These offer the most flexibility, as you can place and move them as often as needed.
How to test WiFi coverage?
You can test the WiFi coverage in your home by downloading a speed-testing app to your phone and running speed tests at various locations. As you identify areas of particularly low signal, keep a list and plan on placing one or more wireless access points accordingly.
How much does a wireless access point cost?
In the $100 to $200 range, expect high-end features (like a wall-mounting kit) and long-term durability. Get a wireless access point in this price range if you expect it to be a high-traffic area for WiFi. WAPs in this price range are ideal for use in a shared office environment.
How effective are wireless access points?
Wireless access points are only as effective as where they’re placed – and in general, the higher the better. Most wireless access points are designed to be set up in one of three locations:
What wireless protocol does a wireless access point use?
Some wireless access points only support older, outdated wireless protocol standards. Make sure the wireless access point you choose supports the 802.11ac wireless protocol (the fastest standard currently). If it doesn’t support 802.11ac, don’t get it.
How do WAPs work?
Wireless access points, or WAPs, work in partnership with a wireless router – their primary function is to extend the reach and speed of an existing WiFi network. They connect to a wireless network through either a wired Ethernet connection or by joining it wirelessly. Wireless access points are particularly effective in situations where you need to increase WiFi coverage in multiple areas: they’re completely scalable, so increasing your WiFi network’s reach and speed is simply a matter of adding more WAPs. Wireless access points are also ideal for people who have WiFi “dead spots” in their home.
What is the most common form of access at the LAN edge?
