CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 41

An IT specialist sets up a wireless router in a SOHO environment. Afterward, several devices cannot access the internet and are assigned IP addresses starting with 169.254. Which of the following is the best action to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Reboot the wireless router.
• B. Shorten the lease time.
• C. Use static IP addresses.
• D. Increase the DHCP pool size.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is to reboot the wireless router, as this action can refresh the DHCP service and potentially resolve connectivity issues. The other options, such as shortening the lease time or using static IP addresses, do not directly address the underlying problem of devices not obtaining proper IP addresses from the router.
