Question
Refer to the exhibit. While testing the post-deployment WLAN network, you discover that an AP has been placed in a difficult area. The AP cannot be moved easily because of various requirements. The client performance of various Apple and Microsoft operating system-based products does not meet expectations. Which two options can help mitigate the performance issue? (Choose two.)
Exhibit
Options
- AAdd additional APs.
- BIncrease the AP power level to maximum.
- CRotate the AP 90 degrees to change antenna polarity.
- DReplace the AP with an AP and external antenna.
- EChange the AP location to one that is less RF hostile.

Explanation
When an AP cannot be relocated and client performance is poor, two practical mitigation strategies are: (A) Adding additional APs to offload clients and provide better coverage density - this reduces the burden on the poorly placed AP and improves overall signal availability; and (D) Replacing the AP with one that supports an external antenna - an external antenna can be repositioned, aimed, or angled independently of the AP chassis, allowing you to optimize RF radiation patterns even if the AP body cannot move. Increasing power (B) can worsen co-channel interference and is not a targeted fix. Rotating 90 degrees (C) may slightly change polarization but does not resolve fundamental placement issues. Moving the AP (E) is explicitly ruled out by the scenario.
