Access points

Access points are the cornerstone of any robust wireless network, extending connectivity and ensuring seamless internet access throughout your home or business. These devices act as central hubs, broadcasting Wi-Fi signals to your devices, from smartphones and laptops to smart home gadgets. Whether you're streaming high-definition content, participating in video conferences, or managing a busy office, a well-chosen access point provides the reliable and fast wireless connection you need to stay productive and entertained. They are particularly useful for expanding existing networks, creating new wireless zones, or even acting as a bridge to connect wired devices wirelessly.

When selecting an access point, several key properties will guide your decision. The Wi-Fi standard, such as the cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), dictates the maximum theoretical speed and efficiency of your wireless connection. Consider the area of application – an outdoor access point is designed to withstand the elements, while indoor models are optimized for internal environments. Operating modes like "Access point" are common, but some devices offer additional functionalities. The max. port speed, often 1000Mbit/s, indicates the wired throughput. For optimal performance and reduced interference, look at the Wi-Fi frequency band, with Tri-band options offering dedicated channels for different devices. Finally, PoE Standard like 802.3at (PoE+) simplifies installation by delivering power and data over a single Ethernet cable.
