A small office/home office network requires a device to connect multiple wired and wireless devices to the internet using a single IP address assigned by the internet service provider, while also providing basic firewall features. Which device would best meet these requirements?
Network hub
Wireless router
Ethernet switch
Broadband modem
A wireless router is the best choice because it combines the functionality of a router, switch, and wireless access point. It allows multiple devices to share a single public IP address through network address translation (NAT), provides wireless connectivity, and includes basic firewall features to protect the network. An Ethernet switch connects wired devices within a local network but does not provide internet sharing or firewall capabilities. A broadband modem connects to the internet service provider but lacks routing and wireless functions. A network hub is an outdated device that repeats signals to multiple ports without any routing or security features.
