Which hop count is Cisco's maximum recommended for a client in a wireless Mesh network?

The correct answer is B. 4. In a Cisco wireless mesh (using Cisco Aironet/Catalyst APs in outdoor mesh mode), each hop through a mesh access point (MAP) introduces latency and reduces throughput because the same radio is used for both backhaul and client traffic.

Explanation

In a Cisco wireless mesh (using Cisco Aironet/Catalyst APs in outdoor mesh mode), each hop through a mesh access point (MAP) introduces latency and reduces throughput because the same radio is used for both backhaul and client traffic. Cisco's design guidelines recommend a maximum of 4 hops from a root access point (RAP) to a mesh client. Beyond 4 hops, latency accumulates to levels that degrade real-time applications, and throughput drops significantly due to the half-duplex nature of each backhaul link.
