CompTIA A+ Certification Core 2 (220-1102) - Basic WAP Setup

The video tutorial covers the setup and configuration of SOHO wireless access points, emphasizing the importance of conducting a site survey to assess network congestion. It explains how to configure SSIDs, set static IP addresses, and adjust channel and transmit power settings. The tutorial also discusses security considerations and concludes with testing the network setup.

What is the first step recommended before plugging in a SOHO router switch wireless access point?

• Set a static IP address

• Run a site survey

• Enable the wireless radio

• Configure the SSID

Why is it important to choose non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz band?

• To increase the range of the network

• To avoid interference and improve performance

• To allow more devices to connect

• To reduce power consumption

What is the recommended approach for setting channels on the 5 GHz band?

• Set channels manually

• Disable channel selection

• Use overlapping channels

• Set channels to automatic

What is a crucial step when configuring a wireless access point?

• Setting a static IP address

• Enabling SSID broadcast

• Disabling the firewall

• Using default SSIDs

Why is it not recommended to use default SSIDs?

• They consume more power

• They are not compatible with all devices

• They can be easily guessed by unauthorized users

• They are difficult to remember

What is the purpose of hiding SSID broadcasts?

• To allow more devices to connect

• To increase the range of the network

• To improve network speed

• To enhance security by making the network less visible

What wireless modes are typically used in the 2.4 GHz band?

• A, N, AC

• A, B, G

• B, G, N

• N, AC, AX

What is the recommended setting for channel width in a crowded 2.4 GHz environment?

• Set to 40 MHz

• Set to 20 MHz

• Set to 80 MHz

• Leave at auto

What is the typical power output for most wireless access points?

• 100 milliwatts

• 2 Watts

• 500 milliwatts

• 1 Watt

What should you do if you have dead spots in your wireless network?

• Disable SSID broadcast

• Decrease the channel width

• Increase the transmit power

• Use a default SSID
