So a hub has wired connections. When it receives something on one connection, it sends it to all other connections. A switch only sends something to it's intended destination.
A WAP is like a hub in the sense that everyone connected to it is on the same medium, so when a WAP receives something it sends it to all others, like a hub.
I was wondering, does there exist a switch that instead of clients connecting via Ethernet, they instead connect via different wireless channels. So that it's as if they have their own connection to the switch and the switch can send data only to the intended receiver.
Just wondering if something like this exists, I understand this doesn't really improve security or anything like that.
