CompTIA A+ Certification 220-1001: The Total Course - Basic WAP Setup

What is the primary purpose of conducting a site survey before setting up a wireless access point?

• To check the compatibility of devices with the router

• To test the speed of the internet connection

• To identify existing wireless networks and their channels

• To determine the best location for the router

Why is it generally recommended to set channels to automatic on the 5 GHz band?

• Because it improves the security of the network

• Because manual settings are not allowed on 5 GHz

• Because it is the only option available for 5 GHz

• Because it is less crowded and can automatically find the least congested channel

What command is used to find the default gateway of a network?

• ping

• netstat

• tracert

• ipconfig

What is an SSID in the context of wireless networks?

• A frequency band used by routers

• A type of wireless access point

• A unique identifier for a wireless network

• A security protocol for wireless networks

Why might hiding the SSID broadcast not be an effective security measure?

• Because it slows down the network

• Because it can still be detected by basic wireless clients

• Because it is illegal to hide SSIDs

• Because it requires special hardware

What is the benefit of setting the channel width to auto?

• It is required by most routers

• It prevents interference from other devices

• It automatically adjusts to the best width for the environment

• It allows for faster internet speeds

What is the maximum power output allowed for unlicensed wireless devices according to ISM standards?

• 1 Watt

• 100 milliwatts

• 500 milliwatts

• 2 Watts

How can adjusting the transmit power of a wireless access point be beneficial?

• It can make the network invisible to hackers

• It can increase the range and reduce interference

• It can prevent unauthorized access

• It can double the internet speed

What is the effect of removing 802.11a support from a wireless network?

• It increases the network's security

• It speeds up the network by reducing legacy support

• It decreases the network's range

• It allows more devices to connect

What should be done if a wireless network is not visible after setup?

• Change the SSID

• Check if the wireless radio is enabled

• Update the router firmware

• Restart the router
