Free CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Actual Exam Questions - Question 12 Discussion
running on the 2.4 GHz band and on the same channel. Connecting to each Wi-Fi network yields slow
performance. Which of the following channels should the networks be configured to?
A/B? Since they’re using the same channel now, switching to different ones with minimal overlap should help. A’s channels (1, 2, 3) are too close and will overlap a lot, causing interference. B’s channels (2, 4, 9) are spaced out better than A but still not ideal because 2 and 4 overlap. C’s channels (1, 6, 11) are well-known non-overlapping choices, but since that’s already mentioned a lot, B could be considered if C is somehow not allowed. D’s channels overlap too much. So, if C isn’t an option for some reason, B might be a secondary choice.
C, only those three channels avoid overlap in 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
C/D? C is the classic non-overlapping set, but D’s channels 3, 5, and 10 still overlap quite a bit, so they wouldn’t fix the slow performance caused by interference. Definitely safer to go with C.
D imo, channels 3, 5, and 10 overlap too much, so they won't solve interference problems. Sticking to non-overlapping channels like in C is way more reliable for performance.
I get why C’s popular, but what about the fact that channels 2, 4, and 9 (option B) are also spaced somewhat apart? Could they help in certain crowded setups, or is the standard really the only safe bet?
This is definitely about avoiding overlap, and channels 1, 6, and 11 are the standard non-overlapping set. So option C seems right to me for reducing interference.
Option C makes the most sense because channels 1, 6, and 11 are spaced out to avoid overlapping frequencies, which reduces interference a lot. The others include channels that overlap, so they'd still cause slowdowns.
Also, option D has channels 3, 5, and 10, which are pretty close to each other, so they’ll overlap and interfere as well. So ditching those overlapping channels is key to getting better Wi-Fi performance.
C vs D. Channel 1, 6, and 11 are the usual non-overlapping channels on 2.4 GHz, so that should fix interference better than the others.
