Wireless Routers

A wireless router is a central device that connects to an internet service provider (ISP) and distributes internet access to multiple devices within a network. It creates a local area network (LAN) and allows devices such as laptops, smartphones, and smart home devices to connect wirelessly Typically includes multiple Wi-Fi bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), various security protocols, and advanced features like guest networks and parental controls. Can be integrated into routers or installed as standalone devices, often supporting high-speed connections and multiple user access.

Access Points

Wireless access points extend the range of an existing wireless network, allowing devices in areas with weak signal strength to connect. They are often used in larger buildings or outdoor spaces to ensure comprehensive coverage.

Wireless Extenders/Repeaters

Wireless extenders or repeaters amplify and extend the reach of a wireless network by receiving the existing signal and rebroadcasting it to areas with weak coverage. They are useful for eliminating dead zones and improving overall network performance.
