A wireless access point is a part of a computer network that is sometimes abbreviated to WAP or AP. The wireless access point is a computer device that is able to connect different forms of wireless devices together in order to design a wireless type of network. A wireless access point also links into a computer network to allow users to access the internet. Another purpose of the wireless access point is to work very much like a bridge does which is to connect a number of different components of the wireless network together. Sometimes wireless access points can be grouped together and this can create a much bigger network that makes "roaming" possible. Wireless access points require IP addresses in order for configuration to take place.

Wireless access points are reasonably low to purchase and they are easy to install, such as in a laptop wireless access point or an usb wireless access point. Wireless access points such as the AOL broadband with wireless access point, the Netgear wireless access point, and the Belkin wireless access point. WAPs have been around for a few years now, having gained a certain level of popularity as recently as the early 2000s. The wireless access points were a way to do away with tangled, frustrating cords that have to do with the traditional ethernet network. This is one of the greatest advantages of a wireless network- cables are either decreased upon in a home and/or business or they are gotten rid of completely. Wireless networks that employ wireless access points are not restricted by cables cluttering up the home and the ease of mobility makes WAPs a winner.
