Selected Answer: B

The most likely cause is B. Insufficient wireless coverage. If users can see other SSIDs but not the organization's network, it suggests that the Wi-Fi signal is either too weak or not reaching certain areas of the building. This could be due to: - Access points being too far apart or not properly placed. - Physical obstructions like walls or furniture blocking the signal. - Incorrect power settings on access points, leading to limited range. Other options: - A. Interference or channel overlap: Could cause connectivity issues, but it wouldn’t make the SSID completely disappear. - C. Roaming misconfiguration: Would affect seamless transitions between access points but wouldn’t prevent SSID visibility. - D. Client disassociation issues: Would cause dropped connections but wouldn’t prevent users from seeing the SSID.
