The administrator should install a wireless controller to manage the 76 access points (APs) on the network. A wireless controller is a device that helps manage and control wireless access points in a network. It allows the administrator to configure, manage, and monitor multiple APs from a single location.

Without a wireless controller, managing multiple APs can be a cumbersome task. Each AP would need to be configured and monitored individually, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. A wireless controller simplifies the process by providing a centralized management interface for all the APs in the network.

A VoIP PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is a telephone system that allows for internal calls within an organization and external calls to outside lines. It is not necessary for managing a network of routers, switches, APs, and VoIP phone sets.

A content filter is a device or software that helps control access to the internet by filtering out unwanted content such as malicious websites, inappropriate content, and spam. While it can be helpful in some situations, it is not necessary for managing a network of routers, switches, APs, and VoIP phone sets.

A RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server is a central authentication and authorization server that provides a way to manage access to network resources. While it can be helpful in some situations, it is not necessary for managing a network of routers, switches, APs, and VoIP phone sets.
