CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 133

A new building needs to be joined to an existing network, but management has decided that running fiber is too expensive. Since the buildings are about 1000ft
(305m) apart, the IT department has been asked to propose alternatives. Which of the following is the BEST device to add to each building to facilitate the extension of the network while meeting budgetary demands?

Answer options

• A. Switch
• B. Router
• C. Media converter
• D. PRP wireless

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best option is D, PRP wireless, as it allows for a wireless connection over a distance of 1000ft without the high costs associated with fiber installation. A switch (A) and a router (B) do not provide a direct solution for extending the network over that distance in a cost-effective manner, and a media converter (C) is typically used for converting signal types rather than extending distances.
