CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 155

A Wi-Fi network was recently deployed in a new, multilevel building. Several issues are now being reported related to latency and drops in coverage. Which of the following is the FIRST step to troubleshoot the issues?

Answer options

• A. Perform a site survey.
• B. Review the AP placement.
• C. Monitor channel utilization.
• D. Test cable attenuation.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The first step in troubleshooting a Wi-Fi network is to perform a site survey, as it helps identify coverage gaps and sources of interference. Reviewing the AP placement comes next but relies on the information gathered from the site survey. Monitoring channel utilization and testing cable attenuation may be necessary later but are not the initial steps in addressing connectivity issues.
