CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 555

After upgrading to a SOHO router that supports Wi-Fi 6, the user determines throughput has not increased. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue?

Answer options

• A. The wireless router is using an incorrect antenna type.
• B. The user's workstation does not support 802.11ax.
• C. The encryption protocol is mismatched.
• D. The network is experiencing interference.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most likely reason for the lack of increased throughput is that the user's workstation does not support 802.11ax, which is required to take advantage of the new capabilities of Wi-Fi 6. The other options may affect performance, but they are less likely to be the primary cause of the issue compared to the workstation's compatibility with the new standard.
