CompTIA A+ (220-901) — Question 44

A technician has been asked to share a laser printer amongst the users in an HR workgroup.
The printer will need to be accessed from distances up to 200 feet through no more than one to two, hollow, dry board walls. Which of the following methods should be used?

Answer options

• A. 802.11x
• B. PAN
• C. USB
• D. Infrared (IR)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 802.11x standard allows for wireless connections that can effectively transmit data over distances up to 200 feet, even through walls. Options B (PAN) and C (USB) are not suitable since they either have limited range or require direct connections. Option D (Infrared) is also inadequate as it requires a direct line of sight and typically has shorter range capabilities.
