CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 142

A network administrator redesigned the positioning of the APs to create adjacent areas of wireless coverage. After project validation, some users still report poor connectivity when their devices maintain an association to a distanced AP. Which of the following should the network administrator check FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Validate the roaming settings on the APs and WLAN clients
• B. Verify that the AP antenna type is correct for the new layout
• C. Check to see if MU-MIMO was properly activated on the APs
• D. Deactivate the 2.4GHz band on the APS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because validating the roaming settings is crucial for ensuring that devices switch to the nearest AP with a stronger signal as they move around. If roaming settings are not configured correctly, users may remain connected to a distant AP, leading to poor connectivity. The other options, while potentially relevant, do not directly address the immediate issue of device association and roaming behavior.
