CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 61

Which of the following appliances provides users with an extended footprint that allows connections from multiple devices within a designated WLAN?

Answer options

• A. Router
• B. Switch
• C. Access point
• D. Firewall

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as an Access Point is specifically designed to extend the coverage of a WLAN and connect multiple devices wirelessly. A Router manages network traffic and directs data between networks, a Switch connects devices on a local network but does not extend WLAN coverage, and a Firewall is used to protect the network from unauthorized access rather than provide connectivity.
