Explanation

End Node serves as the bridge or gateway that connects the wireless mesh network to the wired core network, terminating the wireless side and passing traffic into the wired infrastructure. It sits at the boundary of the two network types, handling the translation and forwarding of data between them.

• Mesh Point (A) is incorrect - it's an intermediate node within the mesh that relays traffic between other mesh nodes, but has no special role connecting to a wired network.
• Mesh End (B) is a distractor that sounds similar; while it implies an edge of the mesh, it doesn't define the gateway function to the wired core.
• Mesh ID (C) is incorrect - it's simply an identifier (like an SSID) used to name and distinguish a mesh network, not a device or functional role.

Memory tip: Think of "End" in End Node as where the wireless world ends and hands off to the wired world - it's the last wireless stop before traffic enters the wired core.
