In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi-Fi compliant device to connect to a wired network.

The WAP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself.

A WAP is differentiated from a hotspot, which is the physical location where Wi-Fi access to a WLAN is available.

Asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) is a type of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, a data communications technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines rather than a conventional voiceband modem can provide.

ADSL differs from the less common symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL).

In ADSL, Bandwidth and bit rate are said to be asymmetric, meaning greater toward the customer premises (downstream) than the reverse (upstream).

Providers usually market ADSL as a service for consumers for Internet access for primarily downloading content from the Internet, but not serving content accessed by others.

Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network.

It was first defined in 1988 in the CCITT red book.

Prior to ISDN, the telephone system was viewed as a way to transport voice, with some special services available for data.

The key feature of ISDN is that it integrates speech and data on the same lines, adding features that were not available in the classic telephone system.

The ISDN standards define several kinds of access interfaces, such as Basic Rate Interface (BRI), Primary Rate Interface (PRI), Narrowband ISDN (N-ISDN), and Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN).

Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access that uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) by dialing a telephone number on a conventional telephone line.

The user's computer or router uses an attached modem to encode and decode information into and from audio frequency signals, respectively.

A laptop, often called a notebook or "notebook computer", is a small, portable with a "clamshell" form factor, an alphanumeric keyboard on the lower part of the "clamshell" and a thin LCD or LED computer screen on the upper portion, which is opened up to use the computer.

Laptops are folded shut for transportation, and thus are suitable for mobile use.

Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference.

Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, Internet surfing using sites such as YouTube and for personal multimedia and home computer use.
