Discuss EC-Council 112-51 Exam Topic 1 Question 7

Robert, an ISP, was instructed to provide network connectivity to all areas even if some locations are inaccessible to capture direct signals from wireless access points. In this process, Robert used a wireless network component that takes a signal from one access point and boosts its signal strength to create a new network.

Identify the component of the wireless network employed by Robert in the above scenario.

AMobile hotspot

BWireless bridge

CWireless NIC

DWireless repeater

Suggested Answer: D

Role-based access control (RBAC) is a type of access control model that refers to assigning permissions to a user role based on the rules defined for each user role by the administrator. In RBAC, the administrator creates different roles and assigns them the appropriate access rights to the resources. The administrator then assigns users to those roles based on their job functions. This way, the administrator can manage the access of users to the resources without having to deal with each user individually. RBAC can simplify the administration, enhance the security, and improve the scalability of the access control system12.

Just a fact check: wireless NICs are for connecting devices, not boosting signals.

Barabara 11 months ago

Wait, can a wireless repeater really boost signals that much?

Goldie 11 months ago

No way, it's gotta be a wireless repeater!

Kasandra 12 months ago

I think it's a wireless bridge, though.

Linn 12 months ago

Definitely a wireless repeater!

Ronnie 1 year ago

I thought a wireless NIC was just for connecting devices, so it can't be that. I really hope it's the repeater!

Ryan 1 year ago

I’m leaning towards the wireless repeater too, but I keep mixing it up with mobile hotspots.

Adelle 1 year ago

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think a wireless bridge connects two networks, but that doesn't sound like what Robert did.

Florinda 1 year ago

I think Robert used a wireless repeater since it boosts the signal strength, right? But I'm not entirely sure.

Erinn 1 year ago

I'm a little confused by this one. The question mentions "network connectivity" and "wireless access points," so I was leaning more towards a wireless NIC. But the part about boosting the signal strength makes me think a repeater is the better choice. I'll have to re-read the question a few times to make sure I understand it.

Bethanie 1 year ago

Okay, I think I've got it. The key details are that it's taking a signal from one access point and creating a new network with boosted signal strength. That sounds exactly like a wireless repeater to me. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Oretha 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I was thinking it might be a wireless bridge, but the question mentions boosting the signal strength, so a repeater does seem more likely. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Augustine 1 year ago

This sounds like a wireless repeater to me. It's taking the signal from one access point and boosting it to create a new network, just like the question describes.

Kallie 1 year ago

Hmm, I think this is asking about the frequency of CloudWatch metrics for Provisioned IOPS EBS volumes. I'll need to recall the details on that.

Glendora 1 year ago

This is an interesting question. I'll need to consider the context and requirements of network card scenarios to determine the most appropriate desktop cloud mode.

Rosendo 1 year ago

This seems like a pretty standard task, but I want to be extra careful to get all the details right. I'll take my time and make sure I follow the instructions closely.

This seems like a straightforward question about Bloom's taxonomy. I think the key is to identify the level that best matches "performs with minimal supervision."

Wireless NIC? Come on, that's just the network card in your device. It doesn't do any signal boosting or network creation. The answer has to be the wireless repeater.

Lynelle 1 year ago

↳ replying to Dong

That makes sense. It's definitely not the wireless NIC, that's just a network card.

Julieta 1 year ago

↳ replying to Dong

Yes, you're right. The wireless repeater boosts the signal strength to create a new network.

Teri 1 year ago

↳ replying to Dong

I think the answer is the wireless repeater.

Sang 1 year ago

Haha, a mobile hotspot? Really? That's for creating a personal Wi-Fi network, not for boosting a signal across a whole area. Clearly, the answer is a wireless repeater.

Ryan 1 year ago

I think it's a wireless bridge. The scenario mentions that Robert is trying to provide connectivity to inaccessible areas, and a bridge can connect two separate networks.

Effie 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ryan

Definitely a wireless bridge, it can extend the network range.

Rose 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ryan

Yes, a wireless bridge makes sense in this scenario.

Huey 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ryan

I agree, it must be a wireless bridge.

A) Mobile hotspot

Ashleigh 2 years ago

The wireless repeater seems like the right answer here. It takes the signal from one access point and boosts it to create a new network, which is exactly what the scenario describes.

Norah 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ashleigh

That makes sense. Robert must have used a wireless repeater to provide network connectivity to all areas.

Lovetta 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ashleigh

Yes, I agree. A wireless repeater takes a signal from one access point and boosts it to create a new network.

Jade 1 year ago

↳ replying to Ashleigh

I think the answer is D) Wireless repeater.

Therese 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be a Wireless bridge. It helps connect different networks together.

Wilford 2 years ago

I agree with Haydee. A Wireless repeater makes sense in this scenario to boost the signal strength.

Haydee 2 years ago

I think the component used by Robert is a Wireless repeater.
