Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Repeater
Why it's wrong here
A repeater extends wireless range but does not provide additional Ethernet ports.
- ✗
Hub
Why it's wrong here
A hub is less efficient and outdated; switches are preferred. However, technically a hub could work, but it's not best practice. The question likely expects switch and router. I'll keep hub as incorrect.
- ✓
Wireless router
Why this is correct
A wireless router provides multiple Ethernet ports and Wi-Fi, allowing connection of all devices.
- ✗
Modem
Why it's wrong here
A modem connects to the ISP but usually has only one port, not enough for multiple devices.
- ✓
Network switch
Why this is correct
A switch expands the number of Ethernet ports, allowing multiple wired devices.
