CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 182

A wireless technician wants to implement a technology that will allow user devices to automatically navigate to the best available frequency standard. Which of the following technologies should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. Band steering
• B. Wireless LAN controller
• C. Directional antenna
• D. Autonomous access point

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Band steering, because it actively guides dual-band devices to connect to the less congested frequency band, thereby optimizing performance. Options B, C, and D do not specifically focus on managing frequency selection for user devices; a Wireless LAN controller manages network traffic, a Directional antenna focuses on signal direction, and an Autonomous access point operates independently without centralized control.
