Access points operate primarily at the Data Link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, where they facilitate wireless communication between devices on a local area network (LAN). They manage the data frames and handle MAC addressing, allowing devices to connect to the network. Additionally, access points can also interact with the Network layer (Layer 3) for IP addressing and routing functions.
