How do multiple access points identify themselves as part of the same network

Such topology is called star.
The three most commonly used wide area network (WAN) topologies are point-to-point, hub-and-spoke, and mesh. In a point-to-point topology, a direct connection is established between two locations, providing a simple and efficient link. The hub-and-spoke model connects multiple remote sites to a central hub, facilitating easier management and data flow. Mesh topology involves interconnecting multiple nodes directly, allowing for redundancy and resilience, as each node can communicate with multiple others.
An Ethernet junction box is used to connect multiple Ethernet cables together in a network. It serves as a central point where cables can be plugged in, allowing devices to communicate with each other. The junction box helps facilitate network connectivity by providing a physical connection point for devices to share data and communicate over the network.
It can function as a Bridge, Relay, and Access Point. In Bridge mode it connects multiple access points to a single fixed line. In relay mode it connects multiple access points to a remote access point. And as a traditional access point it provides network access to wireless clients.
The type of network that connects multiple LANs is called a WAN (wide area network). A typical example of a WAN is the network that links the different departments of an organization.
