Question

Given: Before installing a Wi-Fi network, ABC Company performed a spectrum analysis looking for problems. The 2.4 GHz RF spectrum looked like Image-A. After installing an ERP WLAN, ABC Company performed another spectrum analysis during business hours. The 2.4 GHz RF spectrum then looked like Image-B close to an AP on channel 1.
