CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 29

A campus needs to provide wireless connectivity in a cafeteria with a minimal number of WAPs.
Which of the following antenna types will provide the BEST coverage?

Answer options

• A. High gain
• B. Bidirectional
• C. Dipole
• D. Omni-directional

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The High gain antenna focuses the signal in a specific direction, providing a stronger and more extended coverage area, which is ideal for reducing the number of WAPs needed. While Omni-directional antennas offer 360-degree coverage, they do not provide the same range as high gain antennas. Bidirectional and dipole antennas also have limitations in coverage effectiveness compared to high gain antennas.
