CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 51
A small office has a wireless network with several access points for roaming laptop use. Users occasionally report that the wireless connection drops or becomes very slow. Users have confirmed that this issue only happens when connected to the office wireless network. Which of the following would MOST likely be the cause?
Answer options
- A. Hidden SSID
- B. Device interference
- C. Ethernet port flapping
- D. High ISP latency
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The most likely cause of the connectivity problems is device interference, which can disrupt wireless signals leading to dropped connections and slow speeds. Hidden SSIDs do not typically impact connection stability, while Ethernet port flapping pertains to wired connections, and high ISP latency affects internet speed but not local network connectivity.
