Question

A network technician is designing a SOHO environment where cost is a consideration. The requirements include access to the Internet and access to the guest house which is 100 feet away. The location of the Internet modem is located in the main house. Which of the following is the BEST option to accomplish these requirements?

Options

  • AUse two combined Internet/router/wireless devices, one in each house.
  • BUse a Layer 3 switch in the main house and a combined Internet/router/wireless device in the guest house.
  • CUse a combined Internet/router/wireless device in the main house and a wireless access point in the guest house.
  • DUse a single combined Internet/router/wireless device at the guest house.

Explanation

The most cost-effective solution is to use a single combined Internet/router/wireless device (modem-router combo) in the main house where the ISP connection is located, and extend coverage to the guest house 100 feet away using a wireless access point (WAP). A WAP is inexpensive and only provides wireless connectivity - it does not need its own Internet modem. Option A requires two ISP connections or complex bridging, increasing cost. Option B uses a Layer 3 switch, which is overkill and expensive for a SOHO setup. Option D places the single device at the guest house, which would require relocating the ISP modem or running a long cable - neither practical nor cost-effective.
