CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 846

A small office has a wireless network with several access points that are used by mobile devices. Users occasionally report that the wireless connection drops or becomes very slow. Reports confirm that this only happens when the devices are connected to the office wireless network. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?

Answer options

• A. The configuration of the encryption protocol
• B. Interference from other devices
• C. Insufficient bandwidth capacity
• D. Duplicate SSIDs

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most likely cause of the connectivity issues is interference from other devices, which can disrupt wireless signals and lead to dropped connections or slow speeds. While encryption settings, bandwidth capacity, and duplicate SSIDs can cause problems, they are less likely to be the primary reason for the reported issues in this scenario.
