N10-005 · Question #46

A customer is having problems connecting to a wireless network in a shared office space. The customer can detect several other wireless network signals. All of the wireless networks have different SSI

The correct answer is C. Change the channel to a different channel than the other wireless networks.. To reduce interference between wireless APs, ensure that wireless APs with overlapping signals use unique channel frequencies. The 802.11b standard reserves 14 frequency channels for use with wireless APs. You can use any other channel instead of the one that you are using.
