Kim, a network administrator, is seeing workstations in building C authenticate to the building A wireless access point. Which of the following would resolve this issue?
The correct answer is B. Reduce the transmission power. When workstations in building C are connecting to building A's WAP instead of the intended local WAP, it means building A's AP signal is strong enough to reach building C and is being selected by client devices (usually because it appears as a stronger signal). Reducing the…

Explanation
When workstations in building C are connecting to building A's WAP instead of the intended local WAP, it means building A's AP signal is strong enough to reach building C and is being selected by client devices (usually because it appears as a stronger signal). Reducing the transmission power of building A's WAP limits its effective range so that its signal no longer reaches building C, forcing those clients to connect to their local, intended AP. Changing the security method or SSID would affect all clients network-wide, not just the range issue. Changing the frequency could help if buildings use different bands, but reducing power is the most direct and targeted solution.
