CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 225

A network engineer is completing a wireless installation in a new building. A requirement is that all clients be able to automatically connect to the fastest supported network. Which of the following best supports this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Enabling band steering
• B. Disabling the 5GHz SSID
• C. Adding a captive portal
• D. Configuring MAC filtering

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling band steering allows dual-band clients to automatically connect to the less congested and faster 5GHz band, which meets the requirement. Disabling the 5GHz SSID would prevent clients from accessing the faster band, while adding a captive portal and configuring MAC filtering do not influence network speed or connectivity in this context.
