A customer has requested a solution using multiple WAPs for wireless access. Which of the following should be different on each WAP to prevent wireless problems?

The correct answer is C. Channels. When deploying multiple WAPs in the same area, each must use a different channel to avoid co-channel interference - overlapping signals on the same channel cause collisions, dropped connections, and severe performance degradation. Firewalls (A) are irrelevant to wireless signal…

Explanation

When deploying multiple WAPs in the same area, each must use a different channel to avoid co-channel interference - overlapping signals on the same channel cause collisions, dropped connections, and severe performance degradation. Firewalls (A) are irrelevant to wireless signal conflicts and are typically handled at the network perimeter, not per-WAP. VLANs (B) are a logical segmentation tool that can actually be shared across WAPs to keep devices on the same network segment. Antenna types (D) affect signal pattern and range but don't cause interference problems when multiple WAPs share the same channel. Memory tip: Think of channels like radio stations - two stations broadcasting on the same frequency in the same area create static; assign each WAP its own "station" (non-overlapping channels 1, 6, and 11 on 2.4 GHz) to keep the airwaves clean.
