CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 208

A network administrator recently upgraded a wireless infrastructure with new APs. Users are reporting that, when stationary, the wireless connection drops and reconnects after 20 to 30 seconds. While reviewing the logs, the administrator notices that the APs are changing channels. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the service interruptions?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Channel interference, as it indicates that overlapping channels may be causing the access points to switch channels frequently, leading to connection drops. Roaming misconfiguration, network congestion, and insufficient wireless coverage are less likely to cause the specific symptoms of dropping connections while stationary.
