CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 700

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. Create a network diagram.
• B. Review the AP placement.
• C. Monitor channel utilization.
• D. Test cable attenuation.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as reviewing the AP placement is crucial to identify if access points are positioned optimally for coverage. If APs are incorrectly placed, it can lead to poor signal strength and coverage gaps. The other options, while important, are secondary steps that come after confirming the physical placement of the access points.
