Routers and Access points are like apples and oranges. Access points are a layer 2 device and routers are layer 3. I think you should learn the basics about networking since this isn't very clear to you.

www.practicallynetworked.com is a great place to start. The menu on
the left includes tutorials and other background info.

The kind of networking you're asking about isn't hard. They teach the
basics in High School around here.

I would start by reading the Network+ book. You should really find a community college that offers some networking classes.

Good luck, Networking is a great field to be in.
