What factors are related to the coverage of AP? (Multiple choice)

Question

Options

• AAP transmit power
• BAntenna Gain
• CAP volume size
• DTransmission loss

• A
  72% (13)
• C
  28% (5)

Explanation

AP coverage is determined by how far and effectively a wireless signal can travel, which depends on transmit power (A) - more power means a stronger signal that reaches farther; antenna gain (B) - a higher-gain antenna focuses or amplifies the signal in useful directions; and transmission loss (D) - obstacles, distance, and interference all attenuate the signal, directly shrinking coverage. Option C (AP volume size) is the distractor: the physical size or form factor of the AP unit has no bearing on its radio frequency coverage area - a small AP can cover just as much space as a large one given the same radio specs.

Memory tip: Think of coverage as a budget - you add to the budget with power (A) and antenna gain (B), and subtract from it with transmission loss (D). Physical size never appears in that equation.
