Wireless Access Point (WAP): A networking device that enables wireless-capable devices to connect to a wired network. It acts as a communication hub by receiving and transmitting data between the wireless devices and the wired part of the network. WAPs are commonly used in homes and businesses to extend network coverage and allow for seamless internet connectivity for devices like computers, smartphones, and smart home devices.
