The Chief Executive Officer's (CEO's) tablet cannot connect to the wireless network from the corner office. A network technician verified the tablet can connect to the wireless network in other areas of the building. The distance between the office and the 802.11ac WAP is 150ft (46m), and there are a few cubicles in between. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the tablet not connecting?

  • A. Absorption
  • B. Reflection
  • C. Distance
  • D. Refraction
  • E. Attenuation

Sorry guys but i believe the answer is correct. 802.11ac indoor limitation is 35m/115ft. Evidence for this: https://www.geckoandfly.com/10041/wireless-wifi-802-11-abgn-router-range-and-distance-comparison/

I think the answer here is A since the distance between the office and the WAP is fine (230 feet is the maximum range for 802.11ac). The cubicles in between are the problem. Signals are absorbed by the materials in the cubicles, which causes connectivity issues for the tablet.

I think it is A. The Max Range for 802.11ac is 70 meters, so distance is not the issue. Also, per the book, the definition of absorption is "This occurs when a material is converting the signal’s energy into heat. Varied materials have different absorption rates. Wood and concrete, for example, can make a significant impact on signal strength because of how much they absorb the radio waves." The question does mention a few cubicles in between.

The correct answere is C. Distance. 802.11ac has maximum range 35 m, and it operates in 5Ghz frequencey band only. More information: https://www.dignited.com/24575/wifi-802-11-ad-vs-ac-speeds-band-range-comparison/

Have you had chemistry before, absorption is chemistry. The rest are physics. I would say Distance is the problem. Refraction is when the signal bends due to cubicles. Attenuation makes the signal weaker due to cubicles. Distance is when the cubicles block the signals and can't pass through the access point.

Distance for any WiFi depends on the equipment used (can be upto 150m) but all WiFi signals suffer from high absorption levels. I think A is the answer.

Distance range for ac is 35 m / 115 ft, so the answer makes sense.

Make few steps towards the WAP and will connect. The thing is there is the signal but u are not close enough. Trick question

Since the distance is specification borderline and there are cubicles exists so A is the correct answer.
