In a wireless local area network (WLAN), the device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded is typically the wireless access point (WAP) or router. It uses routing protocols and information about the network topology to make forwarding decisions, directing packets toward their destination based on the best available path.

A wireless local area network (WLAN)
An access point (AP) is a networking device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi or other standards. It acts as a bridge between the wired network and wireless clients, enabling them to communicate with each other and access network resources. The access point broadcasts a wireless signal, allowing devices within its range to connect and authenticate using security protocols like WPA or WPA2. Once connected, users can access the internet and local network services as if they were directly wired to the network.
