A. A permanent wired connection to a broadband modem
B. A permanent wired connection to a computer
C. A temporary wired connection to a broadband modem for configuration only
D. A temporary wired connection to a computer for configuration only
Solution
A and D. The WAP will need to have a permanent cable connection to the broadband modem in order to provide the wireless computers on the network with an Internet connection.
