The correct answer is A. APs are installed too far from the user's office. Intermittent Wi-Fi issues specific to one area with admitted weak AP coverage directly point to insufficient signal strength from distant access points, causing drops and poor performance. Wired RJ45 ports nearby not working suggests a separate cabling or port issue, but the…
Question
A user experiences intermittent Wi-Fi performance issues only in their office. Nearby RJ45 ports do not provide connectivity, but the user connects fine in other campus areas. AP coverage is weak in the user's office. What is the most likely cause?

Explanation
Intermittent Wi-Fi issues specific to one area with admitted weak AP coverage directly point to insufficient signal strength from distant access points, causing drops and poor performance. Wired RJ45 ports nearby not working suggests a separate cabling or port issue, but the Wi-Fi problem aligns with coverage gaps rather than brute-force attacks, malware, or disabled ports, which would not be location-specific or tied to weak signal.
