Question

A company has recently implemented a high density wireless system by having a junior technician install two new access points for every access point already deployed. Users are now reporting random wireless disconnections and slow network connectivity. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Options

AThe old APs use 802.11a
BUsers did not enter the MAC of the new APs
CThe new APs use MIMO
DA site survey was not conducted

Explanation

A wireless site survey assesses the physical environment to determine optimal placement of access points, channel assignments, transmit power levels, and coverage zones. Without one, deploying too many APs in close proximity causes co-channel interference (multiple APs broadcasting on the same or overlapping channels) and adjacent-channel interference, which degrades performance and causes random disconnections. This is a classic high-density deployment mistake. The 802.11a standard, MIMO technology, and MAC address registration are irrelevant to this symptom - the root cause is the unplanned, unsurveyed over-deployment of access points.
