Option 1: A new access point The best thing you can do with an old wifi router you’re no longer using is to convert it into a simple wireless access point.

Both of these new WiFi Access Points can instantly upgrade the performance and reliability of a wireless network.

With more unlicensed wireless spectrum and specifications for MU-MIMO and OFDMA, the Wi-Fi 6 standard promises faster, more reliable networks, but not all vendors meet all the specs.

Think of a hotel's Wi-Fi, and how you can walk the halls without losing network access. An extender connects wirelessly to your router and creates a bubble of Wi-Fi for a far corner of your home.

Linksys wireless access points enable flexible configurations for wireless clients. Turning your access point into a wireless repeater connects it to a second access point through the wireless signal.

The core technology behind Wi-Fi is a device called an access point, which acts like a bridge between the wired network and the Wi-Fi network.

Point-to-point computer networks contain two or more computers connected to each other using a wireless network adapter. These connections are also known as "ad-hoc" networks.
