You must optimize the 2.4GHz radio usage during the frequency planning of a high-density environment. Which step do you take to ensure that all of the clients can access the APs?

The correct answer is D. Limit overlapping signals by using three non-overlapping channels. The 2.4 GHz band has only three non-overlapping channels in most regulatory domains: channels 1, 6, and 11. Using a three-channel plan (D) ensures that adjacent APs operate on channels that do not overlap in frequency, eliminating co-channel and adjacent-channel interference in…

Explanation

The 2.4 GHz band has only three non-overlapping channels in most regulatory domains: channels 1, 6, and 11. Using a three-channel plan (D) ensures that adjacent APs operate on channels that do not overlap in frequency, eliminating co-channel and adjacent-channel interference in the dense environment. Option C references a four-channel plan, which is appropriate for 5 GHz but not for 2.4 GHz, where only three non-overlapping channels exist. Adding more APs (A) without frequency planning would increase interference. Using directional antennas and placement (B) is a physical mitigation strategy that complements - but does not replace - proper channel planning, and the choice as written is incomplete.
