What are two primary objectives when designing a wireless LAN (WLAN)? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. the number of access points required. Determining the number of access points (A) and their physical placement (B) are the two primary objectives when designing a WLAN - together they directly govern whether users get adequate coverage, signal strength, and capacity across the target area. Every other design…

Explanation

Determining the number of access points (A) and their physical placement (B) are the two primary objectives when designing a WLAN - together they directly govern whether users get adequate coverage, signal strength, and capacity across the target area. Every other design decision flows from these two foundational choices.

Why C and D are distractors: Serviceability (C) and configurability (D) are operational and administrative concerns addressed after a network is deployed - they matter for maintenance and management, but they do not shape the initial design. Confusing lifecycle management tasks with design-phase objectives is a classic trap on CCNA-style questions.

Memory tip: Think "Where and how many?" - location and quantity of APs are the architect's first two questions before a single device is installed. If you can picture a floor plan being divided into coverage cells, you're thinking about the right layer of the problem.

(Note: the question says "Choose two" - the second correct answer is B, not listed in the provided answer key. Both A and B together form the complete correct response.)
