A client sees a WLAN named "StudioGuest." The network name is the , but the name itself is not a .
An organization wants each employee to use an individual account for Wi-Fi authentication. Which authentication standard is used with WPA3-Enterprise?
A small office is setting up Wi-Fi for visitors who should reach the internet but not unrestricted internal resources. Which configuration best meets that need?
- A
Use the office WLAN and give guests access to all internal resources.
- B
Assign the guest WLAN to its intended network or VLAN and limit access to the resources guests need.
- C
Change the SSID name but leave guest devices on the same unrestricted network.
- D
Disable authentication so visitors can connect without restrictions.
A network planner is matching bands to client support and building conditions. Select all statements that accurately describe the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.
- A
2.4 GHz is supported by many devices and often reaches farther through obstacles, but it is commonly crowded.
- B
5 GHz always reaches farther through walls than 2.4 GHz.
- C
5 GHz generally offers more channel choices than 2.4 GHz.
- D
6 GHz requires compatible equipment, and coverage through obstacles can be more limited.
- E
Every Wi-Fi client can use 6 GHz if the access point broadcasts it.
A busy office wants more opportunities for nearby access points to reuse channels. What channel width, in MHz, is given as an example of a suitable choice for 2.4 GHz?
An employee sees an unexpected certificate prompt while joining the organization's enterprise Wi-Fi. The employee should accept it without checking because the correct SSID is selected. Is this statement true or false?
- A
True
- B
False
A laptop connects to the WLAN but cannot access the network. Begin by checking its assigned and whether is working.
A company wants individual employee Wi-Fi accounts rather than one shared passphrase. Which security approach best fits, assuming the required devices and infrastructure support it?
- A
An open WLAN, because it lets employees use their own accounts.
- B
WPA3-Personal with one shared passphrase for all employees.
- C
WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X and a RADIUS authentication server, after confirming all required equipment and infrastructure are supported.
- D
WEP with a different passphrase for each employee.
A client can see an enterprise WLAN but authentication fails. Select all checks that are relevant to diagnosing the failure.
- A
Verify the passphrase or account status and confirm the security mode.
- B
Change the client's DNS server before checking its authentication.
- C
For enterprise Wi-Fi, check the RADIUS/EAP configuration.
- D
For enterprise Wi-Fi, verify certificate validation.
- E
Widen the 2.4 GHz channel to resolve any authentication failure.
Two access points in a U.S. office have overlapping coverage and will use 20 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Which channel assignment is an appropriate choice from the typical non-overlapping plan?
- A
Set both access points to channel 1 so their coverage overlaps consistently.
- B
Use channel 1 on one access point and channel 6 on the other.
- C
Use channel 3 on one access point and channel 4 on the other.
- D
Use the widest available channel on both access points regardless of the local environment.
A laptop cannot see a WLAN in its network list. Which set of checks best addresses this visibility problem before investigating authentication or IP connectivity?
- A
Change the client's DNS server and retry.
- B
Replace the passphrase without checking the AP settings.
- C
Check that Wi-Fi is enabled, the AP is broadcasting, and the client supports the configured band and channel.
- D
Check only the client's assigned IP address.
A surveyed WLAN is being deployed in a tightly controlled environment. Which radio-configuration approach best fits that situation?
- A
Always leave channels and transmit power on automatic, regardless of the deployment.
- B
Configure channels and transmit power deliberately based on the survey and deployment conditions.
- C
Set every AP to maximum transmit power so all clients receive the strongest possible signal.
- D
Disable all supported bands and configure only the SSID.
A small office is replacing its WLAN. Staff use laptops and phones throughout the work area, visitors need limited access, and neighboring networks create congestion. Describe a practical plan for choosing AP locations and radio settings, configuring network access, and verifying the result.
A small office uses a recognizable SSID and assumes that knowing the network name protects traffic from being read over Wi-Fi. Is that assumption correct?
- A
True
- B
False
A small office needs one shared Wi-Fi password for its staff and does not have individual organizational accounts or a RADIUS server. Which configuration best fits that requirement?
- A
WEP with a long passphrase
- B
WPA3-Personal with a strong, unique passphrase
- C
An open network with a hidden SSID
- D
WPA/TKIP with a unique network name
For a typical United States 20 MHz channel plan on 2.4 GHz, which three non-overlapping channels are used? Enter them in ascending order, separated by commas.
An organization wants visitors to use Wi-Fi without giving them unrestricted access to internal resources. Which access-point configuration best meets this goal?
- A
Put guests on the staff network and rely on a separate SSID to isolate them
- B
Leave guest access open so visitors do not need credentials
- C
Use separate guest access, assign it to the intended network or VLAN, and limit its access to needed resources
- D
Use the staff SSID for guests but change its channel
During initial access-point setup, which action best reduces management risk before the WLAN is put into service?
- A
Keep the default administrator credentials and update firmware only if clients fail to connect
- B
Change the default administrator credentials and install supported firmware updates
- C
Create the SSID first and leave the management interface unsecured
- D
Disable administrator access before configuring the AP
A client still has an outdated saved passphrase or security profile after the WLAN settings have changed. What action should the user take to remove the stale profile before reconnecting?
