An administrator is replacing an existing WAP because the customer is reporting that the connection speeds are too slow. Which of the following should be installed?
The correct answer is D. 802.11n. 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) provides significantly higher throughput than older wireless standards, making it the correct upgrade choice to resolve slow connection speeds.

Why each option
802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) provides significantly higher throughput than older wireless standards, making it the correct upgrade choice to resolve slow connection speeds.
802.11a operates at 5 GHz with a maximum speed of 54 Mbps, which is slower than 802.11n and would not resolve speed complaints.
802.11b operates at 2.4 GHz with a maximum speed of only 11 Mbps, the slowest of the listed standards.
802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz with a maximum speed of 54 Mbps, which is faster than 802.11b but still far slower than 802.11n.
802.11n supports theoretical speeds up to 600 Mbps using MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna technology and operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, a major improvement over 802.11a (54 Mbps), 802.11b (11 Mbps), and 802.11g (54 Mbps).
