Exam FC0-U61 topic 1 question 217 discussion

D. 802.11ac 5GHz Explanation: Joe is leveraging the best throughput options available, which means he is likely using the fastest and most modern Wi-Fi standard supported by his router. 802.11ac operates primarily on the 5GHz band and provides significantly higher speeds compared to older standards. 5GHz offers faster speeds and less interference but has a shorter range compared to 2.4GHz. Since Joe’s parents’ devices are set to slower standards, they might be using 2.4GHz, which has better range but lower speeds. Why not the other options? A. 802.11n 2.4GHz – This is slower and does not take full advantage of modern high-speed Wi-Fi. B. 802.11ac 2.4GHz – 802.11ac only operates on 5GHz, so this is not a valid option. C. 802.11n 5GHz – While 802.11n does support 5GHz, it is not as fast as 802.11ac. Since Joe wants the best throughput, 802.11ac 5GHz is the correct choice.
