How do you set up a wireless access point?

Wireless access points can be used at homes to expand WiFi coverage, at offices to provide connectivity for multiple devices, at public spaces like airports, cafes, and malls for customer access, and at schools for wireless internet in classrooms.

The range of a wireless access point varies depending on where it is located. For indoors, the range is usually up to 150-300 feet, depending on walls and interference. For outdoors the range can reach up to 1000 feet with line of sight.

To add another wireless access point to your home network, follow the steps given below:

• Purchase a Compatible Access Point and make sure that it works with your existing setup
• Use an Ethernet cable to connect it to the router or switch
• Configure it with the same SSID and password for seamless roaming
• Position it to extend coverage without interference

Yes, servers can connect via wireless access points if they have WiFi capabilities or use a WiFi adapter. However, for better performance and reliability, wired connections are preferred.

The main functions of wireless access points include connecting devices, extending coverage, enhancing speed and supporting multiple users.
