Question
A technician sets up a small wireless network, but it appears to provide less coverage than expected. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?
Options
- AInterference
- BLow power
- CIncorrect protocol
- DIncompatible access point
Explanation
Insufficient wireless network coverage is most commonly due to the access point transmitting at a low power level, limiting its effective range.
Common mistakes.
- A. Interference can degrade signal quality and speed, but it typically doesn't directly reduce the physical coverage area in the same way as low power, though it can make the signal unusable within that area.
- C. An incorrect protocol would likely prevent any connection or cause severe communication issues, not just reduced coverage.
- D. An incompatible access point might not function at all or would have specific compatibility issues, not necessarily just poor coverage.
