CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 214

A client with a 2.4GHz wireless network has stated that the entire office is experiencing intermittent issues with laptops after the WAP was moved. Which of the following is the most likely reason for these issues?

Answer options

• A. The network uses a non-overlapping channel.
• B. The signal is reflecting too much.
• C. The network has excessive noise.
• D. A microwave is in the office.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The presence of a microwave in the office is likely causing interference with the 2.4GHz wireless signal, leading to intermittent connectivity issues. The other options do not address the specific environmental factors that can cause such interference, as non-overlapping channels, signal reflection, and excessive noise are less likely to be the cause in this scenario.
