The correct answer is C. Hotspot. To provide a redundant internet connection when only one ISP is available, setting up a mobile hotspot is the best solution. This utilizes cellular data as an alternative internet source, ensuring connectivity even if the primary wired connection fails.
Question
An administrator is setting up a conference room for an important board of directors meeting. The chief operating officer has asked the administrator to make sure a redundant internet connection is available. The office only has one ISP, and the conference room equipment is currently configured using Ethernet. Which of the following should the administrator set up in order to ensure redundancy?
Options
- AWireless access point
- BNear-field communication
- CHotspot
- DBluetooth

Why each option
To provide a redundant internet connection when only one ISP is available, setting up a mobile hotspot is the best solution. This utilizes cellular data as an alternative internet source, ensuring connectivity even if the primary wired connection fails.
A wireless access point extends the existing network connectivity, usually from the same ISP, and does not provide an independent, redundant internet connection.
Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology for data exchange between devices in close proximity, not for providing an internet connection.
A hotspot, typically provided by a cellular device (like a smartphone or dedicated mobile hotspot device), utilizes a different internet service provider (cellular network) than the office's primary ISP. This creates a completely independent and redundant internet connection, which can be used as a failover if the primary wired Ethernet connection experiences an outage, ensuring continuous connectivity for the board meeting.
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology primarily used for connecting peripherals or transferring small amounts of data, not for providing a primary or redundant internet connection for a conference room.
