What is access point?
An network access point is where you can wirelessly or wired (depending on the router) gain access to network capabilities it is connected to (eg. internet, domains, remote desktop). The access point when wireless has a WEP/WPA authentication key to prevent unwanted connectors from gain access to those privileges mentioned. The connection goes from the internet modem, then to router (the access point), then to the device you wish to gain network for (whether wireless or wired)
For a wireless router to work does the computer with ist have to be on is the other computer to get the wireless signal from that computer?
If you do have a wireless router on, you don't need any other computer to be on, say if you have a laptop downstairs, and a computer with the router upstairs, the computer can be off, but the router has to stay on, and you can access the internet using the laptop from downstairs, if you have a good enough signal. Hope this helps!
