Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Through a wired access point into the network
1. Wireless local area networks are convenient where wires are in the way or where employees move about a building.
2. The wireless devices communicate with a wired access point into the wired network.
3. That access point is the bridge between the radio side and the cabled side.
4. A direct cable to each device would defeat the purpose of going wireless.
