CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 6
A systems administrator needs to improve WiFi performance in a densely populated office tower and use the latest standard. There is a mix of devices that use
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Which of the following should the systems administrator select to meet this requirement?
Answer options
- A. 802.11ac
- B. 802.11ax
- C. 802.11g
- D. 802.11n
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct choice is 802.11ax, also known as Wi-Fi 6, which is the latest standard designed to improve performance in high-density environments. While 802.11ac (A) is a strong performer on the 5 GHz band, it does not support the 2.4 GHz band as effectively as 802.11ax does. Options 802.11g (C) and 802.11n (D) are older standards that do not provide the same level of performance improvements as 802.11ax.
