Access Points/Bridges
Access Points and Bridges
Upgrade your network with the Overclockers UK range of wireless access points and bridges, from manufacturers including ASUS, TP-Link and Ubiquiti. Using a wireless access point, you can add Wi-Fi connectivity to a network that doesn’t already feature it, or extra wavelengths to your network, such as implementing a 5GHz band into a network that only has 2.4GHz. Alternatively, you can connect two or more existing networks together, by adding a wireless network bridge. They can operate one of two ways, either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint. Point-to-point connects two networks together, whereas point-to-multipoint connects multiple networks to a single hub network. This makes them ideal for situations where it is impractical to make extensive cable runs between locations, such as in a business spread across multiple buildings or on several floors of a single building.
