Why Connect Access Points instead of using an extender or booster?

Access points are designed to handle more simultaneous connections and provide higher overall throughput compared to extenders or boosters.

Extenders typically repeat the signal, which can lead to a reduction in signal strength and quality as you move further away from the main router and extender, slowing down the network, especially under heavy usage.

Why use a Wireless Access Point rather than a Wireless Router?

A wireless router's coverage is limited and expanding it would require extenders or boosters which can degrade performance.

Wireless routers can struggle with high traffic volumes as they need to manage both routing and wireless functions which can impact performance.

A wireless router's placement is often limited by the need to connect directly to the internet source, which may not be the optimal location for wireless coverage.

Wireless routers may not offer advanced features that are available of business-grade Wireless Access Points e.g. separate guest network.

A single router represents a single point of failure - if it goes down, the whole network goes down. Multiple Access Points can provide redundancy by overlapping coverage.
