If it was a wired Network I would go for C, I would also go for see with this but this is something that's only on a wireless network

Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is B. Users may be experiencing RF interference from other devices that are transmitting radio waves in the same frequencies that their personal devices are using to communicate. Answer A is incorrect because encryption mismatch would cause no connectivity. Answer C is incorrect because users are experiencing the issue only on the wireless network. If it was a bandwidth issue, then all users would be experiencing the same issue. Answer D is incorrect because duplicate SSIDs do not cause intermittent or no connectivity. SSIDs are used only to allow users to find an access point and associate with it to connect to the wireless network. In fact, "duplicate SSIDs" in this question may refer to the ESSID broadcasted by the access points in the area.

It could be a bandwidth issue in the AP network and configuration. Although I will go for that answer, but I do not agree with the explanation

But upon re-reading the "hint" in the question (only when connected to wireless) they probably want you to think this. So, I again agree with the explanation considering this is a certification exam

Usually when it involves a small space and multiple APs it's either channel overlap or interference from other devices

Let´s not forget the obvious. It says that "occasionally" the connection is slow or drops. I would go with B. Something is causing interference. Not always, but occasionally. Correct answer is B.

It couldn't be C, it specifically states it only happens on the wireless network.
