Question 21
Question
22. A customer installs a wireless access point at home in the closet next to the kitchen. The customer mentions that the wireless communication performance seems degraded when the cordless phone or the microwave oven is in use. What is the possible reason for this degradation?
Answer
-
The access point is close to walls.
-
The cordless phone joins the WLAN and shares the available bandwidth.
-
The wireless signal is in the same radio frequency range as the household devices are in.
