802.11n clients currently have no way to connect to the network.

Which of the following devices should be implemented to let the clients connect?

A.

Router

D.

Access point.

D.

The correct answer is D. Access Point.

802.11n is a wireless networking standard that operates in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. It provides improved data transfer rates and range compared to its predecessors, 802.11a/b/g.

An access point (AP) is a device that enables wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi. It acts as a central point of communication and provides wireless connectivity to clients such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. An AP is necessary to allow 802.11n clients to connect to the network because it is designed to support this standard.

A router is a device that connects multiple networks and routes traffic between them. It can also provide wireless connectivity using Wi-Fi. However, routers may not be compatible with 802.11n clients because they may not support the standard.

A range extender is a device that boosts the signal of an existing wireless network to extend its range. However, it does not provide the wireless connectivity needed for clients to connect to the network.

A VoIP endpoint is a device that connects to a VoIP network and enables voice communication over the internet. It is not designed to provide wireless connectivity to clients.

In summary, an access point is the correct device to implement to let 802.11n clients connect to the network.
