A small business owner requires a simple networking device that provides both wired and wireless connectivity for their home office with minimal setup. Which device BEST meets these needs?
A dedicated wireless controller
A standalone Layer 2 switch
A next-generation firewall appliance
A router with integrated switch and wireless capabilities
A router with integrated switch and wireless capabilities is the best choice for a SOHO environment needing minimal configuration and support for both wired and wireless devices. It combines routing, switching, and wireless functions into a single device, making it cost-effective and easy to set up. A standalone Layer 2 switch only provides connectivity for wired devices and lacks routing and wireless features. A dedicated wireless controller is unnecessary complexity for a small network and typically manages multiple access points in larger enterprise setups. A next-generation firewall appliance focuses on advanced security and does not offer the integrated wireless and switching functionalities required.
