CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 400

A homeowner frequently has guests visit and would like to install a wireless router for their personal devices. The homeowner wants to ensure that the wireless router is compatible with the widest range of devices possible. Which of the following standards should a technician suggest?

Answer options

• A. 802 11ac
• B. 802.11b
• C. 802.11g
• D. 802.11n

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 802.11n standard is the best choice because it offers better compatibility with various devices compared to the others. While 802.11b and 802.11g are older and less efficient, 802.11ac, although faster, may not support as wide a range of older devices. Therefore, 802.11n strikes a balance between modern performance and compatibility.
