N10-005 Question #807: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Signal strength. Moving a wireless access point (WAP) from the center of an office to a corner dramatically changes its coverage area. When placed centrally, the WAP radiates signal in all directions and reaches all users relatively equally. In a corner position, much of the radio signal radiates

Question

A new technician has moved the wireless access point from the middle of the office to an area near a corner office. Wireless users are MOST likely to experience issues with which of the following?

Options

ASignal strength
BSSID mismatch
CChannel mismatch
DEncryption mismatch

Explanation

Moving a wireless access point (WAP) from the center of an office to a corner dramatically changes its coverage area. When placed centrally, the WAP radiates signal in all directions and reaches all users relatively equally. In a corner position, much of the radio signal radiates outward through walls to areas outside the office, leaving users on the far side of the office with a weaker signal. This results in reduced signal strength for many users. SSID mismatch (B), channel mismatch (C), and encryption mismatch (D) are configuration issues unrelated to physical placement - moving the device does not change any of these settings.
