CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 46

A university has a lecture hall containing 100 students. Currently, the lecture hall has two 802.11ac wireless access points, which can accommodate up to 50 devices each. Several students report they are unable to connect devices to the wireless network. Which of the following is MOST likely the issue?

Answer options

• A. One of the wireless access points is on the wrong frequency
• B. The students are attempting to connect 802.11g devices
• C. The students are using more than one wireless device per seat.
• D. Distance limitations are preventing the students from connecting.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because 802.11ac access points are not compatible with 802.11g devices, which may explain why some students are unable to connect. Option A is incorrect as frequency issues would not prevent devices from connecting unless they are completely out of range. Option C does not apply since each access point can handle 50 devices, and option D is less likely given the access points' coverage.
