Editor to share with you what the meaning of AC+AP in the Internet, I believe most people do not know much, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to understand it!

AC+AP is a networking scheme for large households or villas, which aims to maintain a good network connection in every corner of the home. It is a kind of WLAN system. AC accesses the wireless local area network to the control equipment, which is responsible for aggregating the data from different AP and accessing the Internet. At the same time, it completes the configuration management of AP equipment, broadband access and other functions.

What is AP?

A: the AP-- Wireless access Point (WirelessAccessPoint) AP is the HUB in the traditional wired network, and it is also the most commonly used device when building a small wireless LAN. AP is equivalent to a bridge between wired network and wireless network, its main function is to connect various wireless network clients together, and then connect the wireless network to Ethernet, so as to achieve the purpose of network wireless coverage.

AP is also divided into "thin" and "fat"?

Thin AP (FITAP):

Also known as wireless bridge, wireless gateway, that is, the so-called "thin" AP.

Popular understanding of thin AP: itself can not be configured, requires a special device (wireless controller) for centralized control and management configuration.

"Controller + thin AP+ Router Architecture" is generally used for wireless network coverage, because when there is a large number of AP, only the controller manages the configuration, which simplifies a lot of work.

Fat AP (FATAP)

The so-called fat AP in the industry is also called wireless router. Different from pure AP, wireless router generally has two interfaces: WAN and LAN, support address translation (NAT) function, support DHCP server, DNS and MAC address cloning, as well as VPN access, firewall and other security functions.

What is AC?

Answer: wireless controller (Wireless AccessPoint Controller) is a kind of network device, which is used to centrally control the controllable wireless AP in the local area network. it is the core of a wireless network and is responsible for managing all wireless AP in the wireless network. The management of AP includes: sending configuration, modifying relevant configuration parameters, RF intelligent management, access security control, etc. (all AC and AP currently in circulation are the same manufacturer's ability to manage each other.)

What is AC+AP?

AC+AP is a networking scheme for large households or villas, which aims to maintain a good network connection in every corner of the home. It is a kind of WLAN system. AC is the access controller and AP is the wireless access point. The access controller accesses the wireless local area network to the control equipment, which is responsible for aggregating the data from different AP and accessing the Internet. At the same time, it completes the configuration management of AP equipment, authentication and management of wireless users, broadband access, security and other control functions.

The above is all the contents of this article "what does AC+AP mean in the Internet?" Thank you for reading! I believe we all have a certain understanding, hope to share the content to help you, if you want to learn more knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
