CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 566

Which of the following is networking stand-alone hardware that will permit any WiFi-compliant device to connect to a wired network?

Answer options

• A. Wireless hub
• B. Wireless firewall
• C. Wireless access point
• D. Wireless bridge

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a Wireless access point serves as a bridge between wireless devices and a wired network. Options A, B, and D do not function in the same way; a Wireless hub is outdated and lacks intelligent routing, a Wireless firewall provides security rather than connectivity, and a Wireless bridge connects two wired networks wirelessly but does not serve as a point for WiFi devices to connect.
