N10-005 Question #891: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: Channel bonding. Channel bonding combines two adjacent wireless channels to double the available bandwidth, directly increasing throughput in a saturated environment.
Question
The wireless network inside a large training room has been saturated with client requests. Most of the client requests are coming from smartphones and laptops. The network technician has been tasked with increasing the performance of the wireless access point. Which of the following would BEST accomplish this?
Options
- ASwitch the channel
- BChange frequencies
- CChannel bonding
- DIncrease the signal
Explanation
Channel bonding combines two adjacent wireless channels to double the available bandwidth, directly increasing throughput in a saturated environment.
Common mistakes.
- A. Switching the channel moves to a less congested frequency channel but does not increase the total bandwidth available to clients.
- B. Changing frequencies (e.g., from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz) reduces interference but does not by itself maximize throughput the way channel bonding does.
- D. Increasing the signal strength extends range but does not increase the bandwidth or throughput capacity of the access point.
