CompTIA DataX (CNX-001) — Question 71

A cafe uses a tablet-based point-of-sale system. Customers are complaining that their food is taking too long to arrive. During an investigation, the following is noticed:
Every kitchen printer did not print the orders.
Payments are processing correctly.
The cloud-based system has record of the orders.
This issue occurred when the cafe was busy.
Which of the following is the best way to mitigate this issue?

Answer options

• A. Updating the application
• B. Adding an access point exclusively for the kitchen
• C. Upgrading the kitchen printers' wireless dongles
• D. Assigning the kitchen printers static IP addresses

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best solution is to add an access point exclusively for the kitchen, as this can help alleviate network congestion during busy times, ensuring that orders are transmitted to the printers without delay. Updating the application, upgrading the dongles, or assigning static IP addresses may not directly resolve the underlying issue of network capacity affecting the kitchen printers' connectivity.
