A client with a 2.4GHz wireless network has stated that the entire office is experiencing intermittent issues with laptops after the WAP was moved. Which of the following is the most likely reason for these issues?
Excessive noise on the 2.4GHz band: When a WAP is moved, it can sometimes be closer to other devices that emit signals on the same 2.4GHz frequency, like microwaves, cordless phones, baby monitors, and other nearby Wi-Fi networks. This increased proximity can cause more interference, leading to the intermittent connection issues experienced by the laptops.
Personally feel like the answer is B. The microwave was probably in the office for the entire time prior to the WAP moving and there were no issues before. The signal reflecting is the only thing that makes sense in this case. Comptia threw in the microwave to throw people off cause usually for them the formula is 2.5Ghz + Microwave = Problems.
It being an intermittent issue and a 2.4 GHz frequency….i feel like they are trying to edge us toward the microwave being a problem again. CompTIA always finding a way to bring microwaves in a random question.
C. excessive noise is a strong possibility. It could be caused by various sources, but considering the intermittent nature of the issue D might also be plausible answer.
When a wireless access point (WAP) is moved, its signal can bounce off different surfaces in the office, causing the signal to reflect. This reflection can lead to interference with the signal reaching laptops, especially if the new WAP location creates more reflections or obstructs the direct path of the signal. This is particularly true with 2.4GHz frequencies, which are more prone to interference from reflections compared to 5GHz.
I dont believe the answer should be excessive noise nor Microwave in the office, leaving option A and B. B option seems to be the best option. Answered by eliminating method
Brotha trust me, CompTIA really wants you to know that microwaves interfere with 2.4GHz
