Detailed explanation-2: -An access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network, or WLAN, usually in an office or large building. An access point connects to a wired router, switch, or hub via an Ethernet cable, and projects a WiFi signal to a designated area.
Detailed explanation-3: -A WAP is a device that allows different types of wireless network cards connect without cables, hence wireless, to connect to LANs and access resources, including the Internet. A WAP plugs into a hub or switch and is the device that joins the unwired network to the wired network.
