The correct answer is A. Disable 802.11a RSSI-check. Disabling the 802.11a RSSI-check on selected APs allows devices with limited 5 GHz channel support to associate on those APs' 5 GHz radios without changing the configuration for other APs across the venue.

Question

An engineer must ensure that a device that supports a limited number of channels in 5 GHz continues to function in selected areas of a stadium. Which action ensures that a limited number of 5 GHz is enabled on selected access points, while not impacting other areas of the venue?

  • ADisable 802.11a RSSI-check
  • BEnable RF profiles
  • CEnable 40 MHz channels
  • DDisable CCK data rates

Why each option

Disabling the 802.11a RSSI-check on selected APs allows devices with limited 5 GHz channel support to associate on those APs' 5 GHz radios without changing the configuration for other APs across the venue.

ADisable 802.11a RSSI-checkCorrect

The 802.11a RSSI-check is configured per AP and, when active, blocks 5 GHz association for clients whose signal does not meet a minimum threshold - which can prevent limited-channel devices from connecting. Disabling it only on the APs in the target stadium areas allows those APs to respond to the device's 5 GHz probes without signal constraints, while all other APs retain their existing settings and remain unaffected.

BEnable RF profiles

RF profiles can restrict the active channel set on groups of APs but do not address the RSSI-based association gating that prevents a limited-channel device from successfully associating on 5 GHz.

CEnable 40 MHz channels

Enabling 40 MHz channels adjusts channel bandwidth and does not resolve the channel availability or association restrictions faced by a device with limited 5 GHz channel support.

DDisable CCK data rates

CCK data rates are 802.11b (2.4 GHz) modulation rates and have no effect on 5 GHz radio channel selection or client association behavior.
