A network technician is troubleshooting an area where the wireless connection to devices is poor. The technician theorizes that the signal-to-noise ratio in the area is causing the issue. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT?
A.
Run diagnostics on the relevant devices.
B.
Move the access point to a different location.
C.
Escalate the issue to the vendor's support team.
D.
Remove any electronics that might be causing interference.
the sad part is some of those questions might be on the exam, but yes, the correct answer is B. It is easier to move the AP around than other electrical devices.
The way I'm reading this is that he already has the theory and the next step is to test the theroy. So him removing the electronics will be the test. Hopefully this helps. Correct me if im wrong
Identify the Problem. ...
Develop a Theory. ...
Test the Theory. ...
Plan of Action. ...
Implement the Solution. ...
Verify System Functionality. ...
Document the Issue.
I changed my option after giving it a deeper thought. As per the convoluted theory, the theory should be tested and moving the electronics could be the test. I wish it was powering off the electronics than removing.
But moving the APs could also be a test and either could be a solution. But if the same question comes then I will select "removing electronics" and promise myself I will not be judged by these kind of mindless questions
I think its A to test the theory of probable cause and confirm its signal noise issue according to the troubleshooting methodology. B. moving access points might disturb operations or something and require Change Management ? or downtime permission . Im starting to question reality after these comptia questions
No tech goes around and starts removing or moving crap cause they have a hunch. Before touching anything, maybe run some diagnostics??
Are you just gonna move microwaves and APs around?? And then be like, oh well, looks like it wasn't it! Now I can put it all back! Seriously...
I would definitely go with D. Removing a microwave for example is far more simpler than changing the location of APs. Eventually you would have to move them so far away that you wouldn't have wireless coverage in the area you want.
It's not D because what if inteference is coming from the office next door in your building? Or above or below your office? Then what are you removing?
You can only remove what you can control. Which is your AP on your floor.
Cherubael is right.
"The most common situations where low signal to noise ratio shows up is combination of weak input signal (or signal in your environment) combined with abnormally strong electrical currents nearby, such as transmission lines, generators, power plants, etc."
Would you have access or authorization to remove something that may 1) be immovable, 2) not yours to move, 3) not qualified to move (high voltage etc). The practical answer is B unless you want to die or be arrested for trespassing/stealing.
For those who says is B, the signal-to-noise ratio in the area is causing the issue, so even if you move the access point you will have noise in this particular area. The question refers to that particular area so you will need to remove the devices that are causing interference there.
I know this may not be practical in the real world, but this is a certification test, and yes sometimes the questions and the possible answers are not the best.
ill take that baseball bat :D there is no info to make a differance between B or D.
Usually, the signal power is affected by interferences caused by unauthorized access points, or by adjacent devices, such as radars, ovens, etc. good luck removing or shutting down those. It is important to place your APs in areas with less interference to enjoy uninterrupted access.
so ill go with b on this one, might B wrong with it, sh** happens :)
