In a small office/home office (SOHO) network, which device commonly provides multiple functions such as routing, switching, and wireless access, simplifying network setup for users?
A wireless router is the device that commonly combines routing, switching, and wireless access point functionalities in a SOHO network. It allows multiple devices to connect to the internet wirelessly or via wired connections, performs Network Address Translation (NAT), and manages traffic between the local network and the internet. Layer 3 switches are more suitable for larger networks due to their advanced routing capabilities but are typically not necessary in SOHO setups. An access point only provides wireless connectivity and lacks routing and switching functions. A DSL modem provides a connection to the internet service provider but does not offer routing, switching, or wireless access functionalities on its own.
