CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 353

A technician is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity on a line-of-sight wireless bridge. Which of the following tools should the technician use to determine the cause of the packet loss?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The spectrum analyzer is the most appropriate tool as it can identify interference and signal quality issues that may lead to packet loss in a line-of-sight wireless connection. The OTDR is used for fiber optic cables, the packet sniffer analyzes data packets but doesn't diagnose signal issues, and the multimeter measures electrical properties, which is not relevant in this context.
