CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 422

After installing a new wireless access point, an engineer tests the device and sees that it is not performing at the rated speeds. Which of the following should the engineer do to troubleshoot the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure a bottleneck is not coming from other devices on the network.
• B. Install the latest firmware for the device.
• C. Create a new VLAN for the access point.
• D. Make sure the SSID is not longer than 16 characters.
• E. Configure the AP in autonomous mode.
• F. Install a wireless LAN controller.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B. Ensuring that no other devices are causing a bottleneck is crucial for identifying whether the issue lies elsewhere on the network. Updating the firmware can resolve performance issues as manufacturers often release updates to enhance device functionality. The other options, such as creating a VLAN or configuring the AP in autonomous mode, are not directly related to troubleshooting speed performance.
