# WiFi

As I mentioned in the [Router](https://docs.jbcoder.us/books/hardware-80-complete/page/router) and [Basic Networking Requirements](https://docs.jbcoder.us/books/hardware-80-complete/page/basic-networking-requirements) pages, you should have at least one separate WiFi access point to handle wireless connectivity. If your building is big enough, you may very well need multiple access points.

Sadly, I don't actually have any great advice on this because I haven't shopped for one in a good while. I've even resorted to using a router as an access point, due to how annoying it can be to shop for one.

Considerations you should have for shopping for one are:

WiFi standard - The current one I know of is WiFi 6 but I think a 7th one is already in the works.

Features - Mesh networking, for example, can be important, if you have a lot of space or thick walls to deal with.

Price - You should be able to find a decent one for less than $200 but you will have to shop around. Enterprise grade equipment tends to start around $400 each. No, I don't recommend Enterprise grade unless you just really need it for some reason.

Brand - I don't have any recommendations for this. You'll need to do your own research here.

If I ever take the time to shop for WiFi access points, I'll try to update this page with more useful info.
