I remember watching your A+ videos in 2017 and got my A+ Certification. Two months ago I got my CCNA certificate. I now plan on get my CCNA Security and f5 networking certificate. It's amazing how I knew very little about computers and computer networks and after watching your videos from the basics I have gone further down the road. You are better than most teachers out there. Thank you for your videos and grabbing my attention where things were not intimidating for a new learner to the IT industry.
congrats.. also are you planning for F5 on premises? Also since you are taking CCNA security I'm assuming you will be using F5 as a waf (asm) rather than just for load balancing or apm .. if that's so then kindly have a look at cloud waf as well as they are taking off .. namely Microsoft waf.. barracuda.. fortiweb.. imperva and aws waf..

Man, best teacher in the history of TH-cam, maybe the universe. VISUALS help me A LOT!!!!!! It just blows me away, that so many teachers and professors, can't explain it and keep it SIMPLE, like this!!!!!
Right there. No fuss, no mess, just straight to the point. The animations are bang on. I just saved about 4 hours of searching for the exact thing I always wanted to know. Thank you, sir.
Excellent explanation as usual. I would suggest adding the note that modern consumer routers have the Access Point feature built in. Therefore allowing the user to switch from router mode to access point mode in the the router's firmware. Some newer ones even have the repeater mode added.
Why would you switch from access point mode from router mode if it’s at the same location? You have more security at the router and you don’t have any stronger signal?
Except leaving one important question unanswered / unclear throughout the video, and brought up as a possible solution of extended wifi network at 3:06 in the video. Would there be different wifi network names and logins for each wireless router (and manually need to switch wifi network when moving a specific device across different wifi areas?), or can each wifi router be configured to have the same wifi network name and login and function like one seamless wifi network, as experienced by the connected devices? Is the latter (also) possible? (I don't know from the video, though it may be implied to be a possible solution?) (and yes I understand that each wifi router would need to be configured individually, but that was not my question. Once the system is set up, can the devices connecting to the multiple wifi router system (as suggested at 3:07) experience the whole wifi network as one big wifi network and automatically connect to the closest wifi router, while all routers have (been set up to have) the same wifi network name and password, i.e. no connection problems noticed by the user when moving around in different areas of the large wifi router network?)
@@staffan144 It is absolutely possible, it is called roaming. You'll have to set the same SSIDs on all the routers and have then set up in a way that their cells overlap. Also, make sure that they use different channels, so their signals don't interfere with each other.
@@balazsnovak-bohak8913 hi, thanks. And what to do about the 2.4 Ghz and 5 ghz SSID's names... For example, my main router has both, but don't show which one u r connected to and there is only one SSID to connect to (whether I connect to 2.4 or 5 ghz is done automatically, depending on distance to the router and which one is best for the moment). However, unfortunately my second router (which is not yet connected, and I would make it into an access point with the same SSID, but on a different channel, as u said), anyway, that router has two SSID's, one for the 2.4 and another for 5 ghz band...? What to do? Should I give the 5 ghz wifi the same SSID as the main router and just ignore or leave the 2.4 Ghz for itself, since it will not be used much, or...?)
I have a question for you, hope you respond. I have an alfa wifi booster sitting on my windowsill, the people gave me consent and their wifi password, they are a lob of a hand toss away, but my thing tents to crap out, my friend keeps telling me to get a wifi repeater instead of a booster but I have a feeling he is wrong, any input would be appreciated.
@@staffan144 I think that your questions are too specific to blame the author of the video for not having provided that one particular piece of information that you need. In fact, that was nit even the topic of the video. The topic and goal is to highlight the general applications, tasks and differences of routers and APs.
This is one of the best, most clear explanations to ANYTHING that I have ever watched. Can you please make videos to explain everything?! We need to get together as a society and financially support this man while he re-writes the education system.
Been in the industry around 7 plus years and i still enjoy watching these video’s. They are accurate and i wish more techs watched all of these before they start working with clients.
Wow! Truly the most comprehensive and simple explanation of router and access point with the demonstrative visualization making this invaluable. I was really confused about the difference while setting up a new router when switching from Optimum to Verizon during the setup process asking me whether I want to use the router as “Router” or “Access Point.” Basically, thanks to this video, I now simply realize the best way to view all this is the “router” being a main home and the “access point” being a camp base around your house where you can live but still need to go back to home base for supplies.
I am an illiterate computer moron. I have been trying to gather info for two weeks now in an attempt to cut the umbilical cord with Comcast and connect my own Netgear modem and ASUS router. Old large house with plaster walls/ceilings. I may decide I need an access point or two. I have been baffled with the myriad videos and articles I have been over whelmed with. Your video was absolutely the very best I have watched! Very succinct, very easy for a dummy like me to grasp. I cannot thank you guys enough for an incredible instructional video!!
Thank you for this very useful video. For a lay person like me who is trying to by gadgets like mesh router etc, i almost "fainted" when I was bombarded by all the terms used. Your video really help me understand better! Once again, thanks a lot!!!
While the animation may seem dated, your videos are always amazing in its detail and easy to understand. thank you so much for producing such world class content.
Permit me to pause the video and say Thank you for the way you explicitly explain concept. I am so fond of your videos that whenever I am searching for any A+ videos or any technical subjects on TH-cam, I'd always wish to see one from you.
Excellent explanation of Wireless Access Points versus bare Routers. There are so many folks out there, that absolutely have no clue. It is so good to have PowerCert giving valueable information, that is easy to understand.
Really good explanation, just what I needed. I recently bought a TP-Link Wi-Fi extender which worked quite well as an extender but it has the ability to be attached to the router with an Ethernet cable and then be setup as as Access Point. I didn’t understand the difference until I watched your video. Thanks!!!
Another reason for using APs is they can be powered with PoE, which means they can be placed for best coverage, without worrying about having AC power handy. They're also more likely to handle VLANs & multiple SSIDs. BTW, routers can often be configured to be just an AP, but that's a poor substitute for a proper AP.
I just found your channel and I like it a lot, keep up the good work! A point about manageability: just any WAP will not be manageable by a router, that is what wireless line controllers (WLCs) are for.
You are simply the Best Visual Instructor among your peers, you have positively enabled and affected a lot of life in the tech world. your animated videos take away fear and anticipation of exams because a candidate can visualize the problem and apply the solution as taught. on behalf of others, though unknown but I believe will agree with me. I am just asking could you please make videos on Cloud Computing, AWS, AZURE OR GOOGLE. I am sending a big thank you in anticipation of your saying yes.
Great video! I had to explain to someone how a router and access point are different and I based it on prior knowledge. Glad to know that I happen to explain it right!
This is very good. It helps me making a decision. The one thing I understand is that using a wireless router will make computer thinks that you are in a different network as they assign their own IP Address. As example. If you have network 'A' from a modem, then the ethernet cable connect to another wireless router and another ethernet cable connected to a wireless router, you will be in a separate network 'B' instead of 'A'. If you still want to connect to 'A', then you would need a wireless access point instead of a router.
This thing was boggling me for so long! Thank you for such a great animation & clear cut explanation. Looking forward to watching more of your networking videos. May Allah bless you.
See, I knew this video was gonna be useful one day! I just bought my first router (TP-Link) after my ISP's provided modem/router couldn't handle the number of devices connecting to it. I came back to this video after seeing the new router's manual which has different configurations like AP mode and Router mode. I can't thank you ENOUGH for this, my guy! Keep doing videos like this and teach dumb kids like me how to go deep into current tech!
Great video, thanks. I’m getting an access point to extend the WiFi range in my home via an Ethernet cable, and this video confirmed that’s the right solution for me.
Wi-fi extender/repeater is the common name for an actual Wireless Access Point device. Besides, routers can be configured as WAPs. So, if you have an old router, it can be hard-wired (as a LAN device) to extend the wireless range of the main router, as depicted here.
@@clintlbrown2597 yes, with the old router you can use both wireless and wired connection. You can then configure the olds router wireless network to have a different SSID or the same as the main router. Just make sure you don't plug the Ethernet cable that comes from the main router into a WAN port, it must be a normal Ethernet port and also you need to confirm that DHCP is off on the old router. Only the main router can have DHCP on that way to keep it simple.
I finally found a solution for me that changed my Smart Home from being frustrating as hell to perfect!! It was simply changing from Router Mode on my DECO TP Link mesh system to Access Point Mode. It completely stopped smart lights and other devices from disconnecting and becoming unresponsive. The Smart Home is now Smart all the time with no disconnects, Game Changer for me. The WIFI range didn't really change it was something in the Access Point mode that completely solved my frustrations and problems.
Haven't even watched it yet but great video as always and can't wait for more. Maybe a video on the different gpu chips so you know what you're reading when an ad says it's an RTX blah blah blah or whatever?
Valuable learning experience, watching your videos - so clear, unambiguous, both the spoken words and the graphics. Many thanks! Tell us, how many devices can a router handle? What does it depend on? Can several Routers be hooked together for serving large number of users?
The purpose of a router is to move data between different networks, and the amount of traffic it can handle is limited only by its processing power and the bandwidth of its connections. Adding more routers will just split a network into many different ones.
you are soo good. easily explaining everything of network related thinks keep it on man. you are my best humble unknown teacher. who provide freely knowledge.
clear, exampled, imaginative and conclusive explanations. I never thought I’d ever see someone talking more interesting and better than my Computer science teacher
yes i configure my wirless router as an access point. connect the ethernet cable to ethernet port, disabled the dhcp server from the wireless router so that the main router will be the one to give ip addresses to any devices connected.
@Derek Naces: Good job, by doing this, your ISP modem now assigns the IP address' and keeps all IP's in the same "home" network whereas if you left the wireless router to be DHCP and assign IP's, now your wireless router will create a "sub" network within your network, creating 2 home networks ...
You Tube I’ve been trying to figure this out for 5 months and still no conclusion. I have an Orbi mesh WiFi system that can be used as a router or access point. I get my internet connection from my at&t modem/router (WiFi is disabled though). I have a switch so all of my Ethernet ports can be live, but do I connect the internet from the at&t modem to the switch or the orbi router to the switch? As of now I have my internet feeding my orbi router directly. Any help is appreciated.
I must say thanks. Very very clear for home user like me. Manage network, IP adress dan ethernet cable is the one that makes different for AP Wireless.
Nicely described. Adding more: now a days access points are acting as a switch as well. Where desktop PCs or IP phone can be directly connected to the Access points rather going all the way to the IDF switch. Search about Aruba AP-303H for this feature
Really well presented, I rarely click like on videos that I watch only once since I like to keep my playlist clean, but for this I will give you a thumbs up on presentation and clarity alone, this was a fantastic guide, thanks
I've learned more from your videos than my college network essentials course. Which is the reason why I'm here because I can't remember a damn thing from that course and it's probably because I was more concerned about getting all the work done on time as well as getting good scores to maintain my grade. And this is not even including my other classes so I never really had a chance to sit down and actually learn it And instead I was just going through the motions to just get the work done.
Well the primary difference is that a wifi router is meant to allow you to connect to the internet. A WAP is intended to let you connect to a LAN. You do not need a router to use a lan. For instance you can connect a desktop to a printer. Not all networks require internet connection.
This video highlights the differences between home equipment and enterprise hardware. They are pretty much the same thing except one is designed for the home and the other for the enterprise.
It was a perfect choice to discover this channel, it helped me absorb information much more effectively, I'm hoping you will upload descriptive and enlightening videos such as this one. Good day to you.
I went back to watch this awesome video you made Doc-Shmandy and I Saw Ferd's Tank kill while you were swooping down with your Rockets ready to fire but Bam Ferds took him out it looked Reallly Clean! All Cinematic n stuff!
Damn I looked it up online what the difference was and I was like wtf they sound almost exactly the same just slightly different wording. Then I saw this video and I clearly see the difference. Thank you

Most useful YT channel. Thanks for making everything a lot easier.
Glad you think so!
Here we are, community who avoid WAP
offwitcher1 Why would you avoid WAP? Are you gay?
@@nickiminajsbiggestfan7921 what?
I’m so happy a classmate told me about your channel. So helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏾
Get a bucket and a mop, that’s some wap
😂😂😂👌
This is the best Gold TH-cam channel for IT thank you Sir !
what programs are you using in order to make animation ?
It's PowerPoint
Nicely described.
Adding more: now a days access points are acting as a switch as well. Where desktop PCs or IP phone can be directly connected to the Access points rather going all the way to the IDF switch.
Search about Aruba AP-303H for this feature
Really well presented, I rarely click like on videos that I watch only once since I like to keep my playlist clean, but for this I will give you a thumbs up on presentation and clarity alone, this was a fantastic guide, thanks
I've learned more from your videos than my college network essentials course. Which is the reason why I'm here because I can't remember a damn thing from that course and it's probably because I was more concerned about getting all the work done on time as well as getting good scores to maintain my grade. And this is not even including my other classes so I never really had a chance to sit down and actually learn it And instead I was just going through the motions to just get the work done.
My favourite IT channel!
The best explanation that answers to all of my questions
Well the primary difference is that a wifi router is meant to allow you to connect to the internet. A WAP is intended to let you connect to a LAN. You do not need a router to use a lan. For instance you can connect a desktop to a printer. Not all networks require internet connection.
All points are covered and that too in crisp detail.. as always, great job
Now I have super clear concept about WAP. Thanks
What a great video to watch …to get a better understanding…outstanding job in 2023
Sir I LOVE your channel!!!!! Please continue to upload these education videos I am a IT new bee
Thanks - simple answer to a question I couldn't get answered elsewhere. Heading out to buy a WAP tomorrow. 👍
This video highlights the differences between home equipment and enterprise hardware. They are pretty much the same thing except one is designed for the home and the other for the enterprise.
It was a perfect choice to discover this channel, it helped me absorb information much more effectively, I'm hoping you will upload descriptive and enlightening videos such as this one. Good day to you.
Great video. Clear and concise with intuitive illustrations.
I went back to watch this awesome video you made Doc-Shmandy and I Saw Ferd's Tank kill while you were swooping down with your Rockets ready to fire but Bam Ferds took him out it looked Reallly Clean! All Cinematic n stuff!
So to summarize: Wi-Fi Routers work on Layer-3 in the OSI Model with Layer-2 capabilities while Access Points work on Layer-2 in the OSI Model.
Damn I looked it up online what the difference was and I was like wtf they sound almost exactly the same just slightly different wording. Then I saw this video and I clearly see the difference. Thank you
The *Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol* is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client-server architecture.
I actually understood everything you said. Thank you because all the other videos I watched sounded like they were speaking another language. 👍🏾
Thanks
