A company installed WAPs and deployed new laptops and docking stations to all employees. The docking stations are connected via LAN cables. Users are now reporting degraded network service. The IT department has determined that the WAP mesh network is experiencing a higher than anticipated amount of traffic. Which of the following would be the most efficient way to ensure the wireless network can support the expected number of wireless users?

A.
Replacing non-mobile users' laptops with wired desktop systems

D.
Upgrading the current mesh network to support the 802.11 n specification
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

When a WAP (Wireless Access Point) mesh network is experiencing a higher than anticipated amount of traffic, leading to degraded network service, upgrading the network to a more advanced wireless standard can help alleviate the problem. The 802.11n specification, also known as Wireless-N, offers significant improvements over earlier standards like 802.11b/g in terms of speed, range, and reliability. It allows for increased data throughput and better coverage, which can support a higher number of wireless users effectively.

Upgrading to 802.11n: This involves replacing existing WAPs with those that support the 802.11n standard or higher. The upgrade can result in improved network performance by accommodating more wireless connections with higher data rates, reducing congestion and improving overall network efficiency.

Replacing non-mobile users' laptops with wired desktop systems (A) could reduce wireless traffic but may not be feasible or desirable for all users. Increasing the wireless network adapter metric (B) would affect route priority but not overall network capacity. Adding wireless repeaters (C) can extend the range but might also introduce additional latency and does not necessarily increase the network's capacity to handle more users efficiently.
