A Wi-Fi network was originally configured to be able to handle interference from a microwave oven. The microwave oven was recently removed from the office. Now the network administrator wants to optimize the system to maximize the range of the signal. The main sources of signal degradation are the numerous cubicles and wooden walls between the WAP and the intended destination. Which of the following actions should the administrator take?

D.
Change the frequency.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

- the microwave was already removed from the office

- the signal is OK now

- Notice that the question mentions "numerous cubicles and wooden walls" - meaning the signal now won't have the interference as before

- KEY POINT: the admin wants to "maximize the range of the signal:"

Manually change the frequency to 2.4 GHz for more reliable speeds and range. While 5 GHz gives you a stronger signal, it doesn't travel through walls or ceilings as well, so it doesn't give you the best range.

"Microwave ovens: Older microwave ovens, which might not have sufficient shielding, can emit relatively high-powered signals in the 2.4GHz band, resulting in significant interference with WLAN devices operating in the 2.4GHz band."
