CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 723

A network technician is working to upgrade an existing wireless system in order to improve the coverage of APs throughout the building. Which of the following should the technician perform to determine the optimal placement of APs for the new wireless system?

Answer options

• A. Cable testing
• B. Network assessment
• C. Site survey
• D. Packet capture

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a site survey involves assessing the physical environment to identify the best placement for Access Points to ensure optimal coverage. Options A and D focus on testing and monitoring network traffic, which do not directly address placement. Option B, while relevant, is broader and does not specifically target the physical placement of APs.
