Answers
the answer is B) HUB
a network helps two or more nodes connected together be able to communicate between them. LAN is just one of the types of network architectures and if jesse has set up that LAN in the house for friends to use then the best type of network architecture is the PAN(personal area network) which spans over a distance of about 10 meters or 33 feet. and the devices that can be used in this type of network are, usb cables and firewire which helps in linking wired PAN. the options listed does not feet that type of a network because the network only covers the house. those options would work well well in other types of networks. a repeater regenerates the strength of signals over a long distance, a hub and a switch works almost the same though the switch is most sophisticated because of how it works and hubs and switches are best used in star topologies of network and the best answer is a gateway. because it will be able to enable the the network be fast just incase the roommates are in different rooms. hope this will help
