What is the difference between a
Wireless Access Point
Wireless Bridge
Wireless Router
Wireless Repeater
Wireless Extender????
From my understanding, repeater and extenders are the same and is used for increasing coverage. How about Acess Point/Bridge?

im in need of extending /repeating my signal if anyone can point me in the right direction

If I were to get a Wireless Access Point along with my router will that help extend coverage?

Your link is dead.
A Wireless bridge typically connects two wired networks together via a wireless link.
A Wireless Access Point connects two wireless networks together via a wireless link.
A wireless repeater is the same as an extender.
While a repeater may work for your situation, typically an Access Point provides more functionality. Any from the major brands will usually do just fine. Care to expand on your situation? -
rest of it--taking into account that marketers often call their products whatever the heck they please.
Wireless Router--routes traffic from one network (usually local network) to another (usually internet)
Wireless Access Point--usually used if you do not have a wireless router, but instead have a wired router and want to add wireless capability to your network. Sometimes, people will use it to extend a wireless network by running a cat5 cable from a wireless router lan port to an area not reached by the router.
Wireless Bridge--(I like surfasb's description better--but it should be noted you are not connecting two wireless networks, but connecting two segments of the same network-I know he knows, but the reader may not)
Wireless Repeater--used for extending a wireless network beyond the reach of a single transmitter. Can also be used to bridge two network segments, but is more often thought of as a.....
Wireless Extender--used for extending a wireless network beyond the reach of a single transmitter. Unlike a bridge or repeater, sometimes these are just high-powered transmitters or access points. -
I have a D-Link DIR-825 for wireless internet only. People on the upper floors with B wireless have really weak signal. Can I add a DAP-1522 to increase coverage of the mixed abgn on the upper floors as well?

Would you guys suggest a DAP-1522 or a repeater?
Also if I get a DAP-1522 with my DIR-825 will the QoS still work with the people connecting to the DAP-1522?
What is the DIFFERENCE? HELP!
