This has been puzzling me for a while, why would one buy an AP over a
router since the router provides the more functionality in addition to
what the AP already offers when configured correctly. Yet, routers cost
less. What is the advantage of an AP, do they offer more range
typically? I'm looking to add one to my home networking, since right now
I'm only using an ad-hoc setup to provide access to my wired network for
my laptop through another wifi card on a wired computer. Any suggestions
on what I should do to increase signal range, excluding moving stuff
about or buying an antenna/relayer. What brands/models offer the best
range in addition to whether a router or an AP would be better in terms
of range. Thanks.
