Designing Cisco Wireless Enterprise Networks (WIDESIGN, legacy) — Question 28

Given an AP that can transmit at 100 mW and the client at 40 mW, which power setting should be used for a site survey?

Answer options

• A. 10 mW
• B. 20 mW
• C. 40 mW
• D. 60 mW
• E. 80 mW
• F. 100 mW

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Choosing 20 mW for the site survey is appropriate as it provides a balance between coverage and interference, ensuring that the client can maintain a stable connection without overwhelming the environment. The other options either provide too low power, which may result in insufficient coverage (A), or are too high, which could cause excessive interference and does not align with the client’s capabilities (C, D, E, F).
