300-425 · Question #67
You are designing a wireless network that contains many different types of wireless clients. How do you conduct a survey to ensure a consistent experience for all of the wireless clients?
The correct answer is B. by using the client that is used most by the company. Surveying with the most commonly used client type ensures the wireless design meets the RF needs of the largest user population, producing the most consistent real-world experience.

Why each option
Surveying with the most commonly used client type ensures the wireless design meets the RF needs of the largest user population, producing the most consistent real-world experience.
Using the client with the best RF properties over-engineers the survey baseline, masking coverage gaps that weaker devices will actually encounter.
A site survey must reflect actual deployment conditions, so using the dominant client device ensures coverage thresholds, data rates, and roaming behavior are validated against the majority of end users, making the resulting design most representative of day-to-day performance.
Surveying with every client type is operationally impractical and produces no single actionable design baseline.
Designing around the least-used client optimizes for an edge case, degrading coverage and throughput for the majority of the workforce.
