A wireless access point (WAP) is a networking device that acts as a bridge between wireless users and a wired network. It provides a wireless connection to the wired network, allowing wireless users to access shared resources on the local network such as Internet, printers, file servers, etc. WAPs also provide other services such as authentication, encryption, MAC filtering, and DHCP services. WAPs are often used in conjunction with Wireless LANs (WLANs) and other networking technologies to provide wireless connectivity.
