Question 4 (Extended Response)
[6 marks]
A school is upgrading the network in its IT classroom. Compare the use of a wired Ethernet connection with a wireless Wi-Fi connection for the desktop computers.
Student's Answer
I think the school should use wired connections for the desktops because Ethernet is
much faster
and it is
better for safety.
Wi-Fi is good because you can
move around easily,
but the wireless signal can get
blocked by stuff like thick walls.
Also, if a hacker tries to look at the Wi-Fi data, they can see it unless it is scrambled using a
secret code.
