DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROUTER AND ACCESS POINT

Red Router and White Access Point
DIFFERENCEN BETWEEN ROUTER AND ACCESS POINT
A Router is a device that routes packets across networks. Thats all it does. If data from one computer is trying to get to another computer that is not on the same logical network it must be 'routed' to that network. Your home network is different then your ISP's network thus a router is always the last device that sits between you and your ISP.
An Access Point is a device that allows other devices to connect wirelessly. Its nothing more then an antenna. Access points can be purchased on their own and plugged into a wired switch or router to grant users wireless connectivity to that device.
