Explanation

When users in a specific corner of a building cannot connect to a wireless AP, the most likely cause is insufficient signal coverage in that area. Increasing the AP's transmission power (signal strength) extends its range and can eliminate dead zones. Changing the SSID only affects the network name, changing channels addresses interference (not range), and changing encryption does not improve coverage. If the area is too far, an additional AP or a repeater may also be considered, but among the listed options, signal strength is the correct answer.
