In computer networking, a wireless access points, is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network.
As a standalone device, the access point (AP) may have a wired connection to a router. However, in a wireless router, it can also be an integral component of the router itself. An AP is differentiated from a hotspot which is a physical location where Wi-Fi access is available.
A network bridge is a computer networking device that creates a single, aggregate network from multiple communication networks or network segments. This function is called network bridging. In the OSI model, bridging is performed in the data link layer (layer 2).[3]
If one or more segments of the bridged network are wireless, the device is known as a wireless bridge.
