WGU Network-and-Security-Foundation - WGU Network Engineering and Security Foundation Certification Exam
Question #1 (Topic: demo questions)
An organization is evaluating its internal network. Currently, each device is connected to two
adjacent devices, one on either side.
Which type of network topology is being used?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A Ring topology is a network setup where each device is connected to two adjacent devices, forming
A Ring topology is a network setup where each device is connected to two adjacent devices, forming
a circular path for data transmission. This topology ensures that data travels in a single or
bidirectional loop.
Point-to-point topology refers to a direct connection between two devices without forming a larger
network structure.
Bus topology has all devices connected to a single central cable, rather than forming a ring.
Star topology features a central hub or switch that connects all devices, rather than direct device-todevice
links.
Question #2 (Topic: demo questions)
A library has a network that allows patrons to use their mobile devices to connect to the internet.
Which type of network is described?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) enables wireless connectivity within a defined geographic
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) enables wireless connectivity within a defined geographic
area, such as a library, office, or coffee shop. WLANs use Wi-Fi technology to allow users to access
the internet without physical cables.
Storage Area Networks (SANs) are used for data storage and do not provide internet connectivity to
users.
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) cover larger areas, such as cities, and are not used within a
single building.
Personal Area Networks (PANs) connect personal devices like smartphones and laptops over short
distances, such as via Bluetooth, but do not support public internet access.
Question #3 (Topic: demo questions)
An individual has been tasked with setting up an office network. During the process, there is a need
for a device that extends the range of a network.
Which device should be used?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
An access point (AP) is a network device that extends the coverage of a wireless network by acting as
An access point (AP) is a network device that extends the coverage of a wireless network by acting as
a bridge between wired and wireless devices. It allows users to connect to a network without needing
a direct wired connection. APs are particularly useful in large office spaces where Wi-Fi signals may
not reach all areas.
Routers primarily manage network traffic but do not directly extend network range unless they
include built-in AP functionality.
Servers are used for hosting applications and storing data but do not extend network connectivity.
Switches connect wired devices within a local network but do not extend wireless network range.
Question #4 (Topic: demo questions)
When setting up a network, a technician needs a router that creates an access point.
Which router should be used?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A wireless router is designed to create an access point that allows wireless devices to connect to a
A wireless router is designed to create an access point that allows wireless devices to connect to a
network. It combines the functions of a traditional router with a wireless access point, enabling
communication between wired and wireless devices. These routers use Wi-Fi standards (e.g.,
802.11ac, 802.11ax) to transmit data wirelessly.
Broadband routers primarily provide internet connectivity but do not necessarily include Wi-Fi
functionality unless specified.
Core routers handle large-scale data routing in the backbone of networks but are not designed for
access point creation.
Inter-provider border routers function at an ISP level for routing traffic between different networks,
not for providing user access.
Question #5 (Topic: demo questions)
When setting up a network, a technician needs a router that connects computers together and
connects computers to the internet.
Which router should be used?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
A broadband router is a type of network router that connects multiple computers within a local
