CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 524

Following the implementation of a BYOD policy, some users in a high-density environment report slowness over the wireless connection. Some wireless controller reports indicate high latency and airttime contention. Which of the following is the most probable root cause?

Answer options

• A. The AP is configured with 2.4GHz frequency, which the new personal devices do not support.
• B. The AP is configured with 2.4GHz frequency without band-steering capabilities.
• C. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequency with band-steering capabilities.
• D. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequency, which the new personal devices do not support

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the AP configured with 2.4GHz frequency without band-steering can lead to congestion as multiple devices compete for the same bandwidth. Options A and D are incorrect since they imply that personal devices are not compatible with the frequencies, while option C indicates an optimal configuration that would not typically result in high latency.
