What's an access point?
An access point isn't a replacement for a router, but an addition to it. That's because access points only ensure a WiFi signal in your network. In contrast to routers, they can't set up a network between different appliances. This means you'll always need a router to connect the access points to. This is also how you make sure the access points are connected to the internet. You can also use routers without built-in WiFi for this. Most business routers don't have a wireless connection.
Stable wireless internet
With access points, you ensure stable WiFi for your company. Access points are designed to spread WiFi signals. This makes your network more stable. You can also prioritize important network traffic. For example, you can make sure video calls are prioritized. Thanks to this, these will no longer fail when many people are connected to the WiFi. Do you want a really stable WiFi? Choose a WiFi 6 access point. You can connect more than 100 appliances to this.
Only anywhere with seamless roaming
Access points with seamless roaming ensure WiFi coverage for the entire building. When you walk from your desk to a meeting room, the WiFi won't stop working. This allows you to wirelessly go online anywhere. Access points with this option create a mesh network. This means that they constantly communicate with each other. As a result, you'll always have a stable WiFi connection.
How many access points do you need?
Each access point has a range of 15 to 20m around your access point. Walls cause interference to this connection, which limits the range behind the wall a lot. You don't really notice the effect of glass in the range of a WiFi point. Do you have a lot of bends in the spaces in the office? Place your access points in the center of the aisle on each corner. Use the range of your access points to calculate how many points you need, or ask our B2B experts for advice.
Business use
Access points are designed for business use. That's because you'll always need a separate router and network switch. Thanks to the business options, you ensure your network is secured. You can set up multiple wireless networks. This allows you to determine which files external employees or clients have access to. You can also determine when guests or clients can go online. For example, set up a dynamic password that expires automatically. That way, you prevent just anyone from going online.
Wired connection and PoE
You always connect access points to your network wired. This means that you'll need network cables or a network connector where you want to install your access points. This cabled connection ensures a stable network. You can also use Power over Ethernet. With this, the power is supplied via the network cable. Thanks to this, you won't need a socket where you install the access point.
