A building has two legacy APs. A new AP was recently installed within 30ft (9m) of the legacy APs. Multiple users have been reporting intermittent internet connectivity since the new AP was installed.

The correct answer is B. There are inference and attenuation factors.. The intermittent internet connectivity experienced by users since the installation of the new AP is likely due to interference and attenuation.

Explanation

The intermittent internet connectivity experienced by users since the installation of the new AP is likely due to interference and attenuation. When wireless access points are placed too closely together (in this case, within 30 feet), they can cause interference, especially if they are operating on overlapping channels. Attenuation refers to the weakening of wireless signals as they travel through obstacles or over distance.
