I'm pretty sure it means Access Point; in any event, STW for "TL-WN861N hostapd" yields many people using / trying to use that card as an access point, e.g.: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=115069 > Maybe there are some other suggestion? > Or should I better go for an USB device? My impression is that there is in general better support for [mini]PCI cards, but I'm not absolutely sure about this, and it's certainly not a hard and fast rule.
