;access point (AP): an AP is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. The AP usually connects to a wired network and can relay data between wireless devices and wired devices. Several APs can link together to form a larger network. | ;access point (AP): an AP is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network.
