What is the specific difference between wireless CPE and AP?

AP is equivalent to a bridge connecting wired and wireless networks. For small-range wireless LANs such as homes and offices, generally only one wireless AP is needed to achieve wireless access to all computers.

CPE is a wireless terminal access device that receives wifi signals, which can replace wireless client devices such as wireless network cards. It can receive wireless signals from wireless routers, wireless APs, wireless base stations, etc. It is a new type of wireless terminal access equipment. At the same time, it is also a device that converts high-speed 4G and 5G signals into WiFi signals, but requires an external power supply.

Simply put: AP is to convert a wired network to a wireless network, and CPE is to extend the distance of a wireless network.
