When upgrading or expanding a network, replacing an Access Point (AP) with a router can enhance functionality. A router not only provides wireless connectivity like an AP but also manages network traffic, assigns IP addresses, and connects your local network to the internet. This change helps improve performance, simplifies network management, and allows for additional features like guest networks, security settings, and better coverage.
A service was called to troubleshoot an AP issue. The AP device is no longer functional. The customer wasn’t interested in purchasing a new one but instead handed us a Linksys Wifi Router to replace the AP. We went ahead and assign the router IP with an unused static IP in their network. We were able to use the router as an AP which brought back their Wifi signal in the area.
