Wireless Networking Concepts:

Your company recently rented new office space across town to make room for expansion in the Accounting Department, and part of your responsibility with the new acquisition was to install three new 802.aan Aps. You completed the job just before the weekend, at the same time as the 19 accounting employees finished setting up their file cabinets and reception area furniture.

Some of your fellow IT technicians completed workstation setup that same day; most of the workstations are connected to the network via wireless due to restrictions imposed by your company's contract with the property owner. Today, Monday, the accounting personnel reported for work at the new building.

At first, the new location's network seems to be working fine. The local network is communicating well with the home office's network, and everyone has access to all of the files they need on the file servers. As everyone gets settled in for the day and stats their Monday duties, however, the network slows to a snail's pace.

It's not long before you start to get complains about emails being delayed, files not being accessible, and print jobs to network printers getting lost. You make a beeline across town to figure out what's wrong.

During the course of your investigation, you find that all of the hosts on the local network ae accessible, although you find it odd that even though you ping tests ae usually successful, sometimes they aren't. You know the Aps are all new devices, and you double-check their configurations to try to determine a common source for all the problems you've noted.

Here's a summary of the results you've gathered:

All three APs are active and communicating successfully with your laptop.

All three APs are configured with identical SSIDs and other settings.

For good measure, you also walk around the office space with your wireless analyzer to confirm that there are no significant dead zones or interference.

Why are wireless transmissions being lost in transit? Below are several possible resolutions.

Select the best one and explain your reasoning:

a. One of the APs is faulty and not processing transmissions. It should be removed and replace.

b. The NICs in the employee's workstations were damaged during the move. Probably several just need to be reseated while some might need to be replaced.

c. The APs should not have the same SSID. Rename each AP so their SSIDs don't match.

d. Three APs ae insufficient for the wireless load of the Accounting Department. More APs should be added

e. The APs are all part of the same LAN and should be separated into separate LANs.

f. The workstation computers are programmed to search for and connect with the wrong SSID, or the network keys are entered wrong. Every workstation's wireless interface settings should be checked.

The APs are all programmed to use the same channel. They should be programmed for different channels.
