Which feature or function does an AP provide in a wireless LAN?
- An AP is easier to configure and to set up than Wi-Fi range extenders.
- Each AP advertises one or more SSIDs and a user can choose to connect to the closest SSID.
- A wireless device has to be associated to an AP in order to have access to network resources.
- A wireless client can connect to more than one AP at a time.
Explanation: Although range extenders are easy to set up and configure, the best solution would be to install another wireless access point to provide dedicated wireless access to the user devices. Wireless clients use their wireless NIC to discover nearby APs advertising their SSID. Clients then attempt to associate and authenticate with an AP. After being authenticated, wireless users have access to network resources.
