Question

A technician has been asked to provide wireless connectivity to the wired ethernet network of a building. which three factors affect the number of access points needed? (choose three.) group of answer choices

O size of the building
O number of solid interior walls in the building
O presence of microwave ovens in several offices
O encryption method used on the wireless network
O use of both windows and appletalk operating systems
O use of shortwave or infrared

Answer 1

The correct answer includes the size of the building, the number of solid interior walls, and the presence of microwave ovens as they all affect the distribution and quality of wireless signals, influencing the number of access points needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Size of the building
• Number of solid interior walls in the building
• Presence of microwave ovens in several offices

When a technician is asked to provide wireless connectivity to the wired Ethernet network of a building, the number of access points needed is influenced by several factors. Primarily, the size of the building will determine the coverage area required. Furthermore, the number of solid interior walls will affect signal strength and distribution, as these can block or weaken the wireless signal, requiring additional access points for adequate coverage. Additionally, the presence of devices like microwave ovens can cause radio wave interference, disrupting wireless connectivity, and may necessitate strategic placement of access points to mitigate interference. Other factors such as the encryption method used on the wireless network, operating systems, or shortwave/infrared use do not have a substantial impact on the number of access points required.
