1. wired networks are the most reliable and provide the highest speeds
a. true
b. false

2. wireless networks are the most difficult type of network to set up
a. true
b. false

3. which of the following best describes a client?
a. a device or program that accesses a service on a hosted network
b. a device that provides access to shared network folders
c. a network that hosts a program or device for multiple users
d. a program or device that protects the services hosted on a network

4. which of the following best describes networking?
a. the design and construction of a group of resources to be accessed by remote users
b. the design and construction of a home, school, or office local area network to expand the amount of user bandwidth
c. the design and construction of a home, school or office local area network to connect computers and devices
d. the design and construction of a wide area network to provide security for files and folders

1. A

A wired connection is almost always reliable and much faster. Its speed of operation is higher. However, due to technological advancements, wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 have eroded speed and have been trying to catch up. It is also reliable as manufactured Ethernet cables and switches have higher performance than wireless networks.

2. B

Wireless network installation is generally easier to set up and requires less time. You do not need to string cables. It only takes a few simple steps. All you need is a few routers, modems, and access points. In addition, many routers and access points include wizards in the firmware to help you get started.

3. A

A client in computing can best be described as a computer that connects to a service made available by a server or a remote computer. It acts as the requestor or the receiving end of a service. It is most often located on computer systems that can easily be accessed through a network connection.

4. C

All the above sort of describes networking but the one that strongly supports is C. A computer network is engineered to link together a group of computer systems and hardware devices via communication channels for communication and resource sharing. LAN is an example of a computer network that is used to serve a small number of people located in a small geographical area or space like a school, a small office, or a home for communication.
