A small office is considering upgrading their wireless network to improve speed and range. The office is currently using wireless access points that operate exclusively on the 2.4GHz band. To optimize both coverage and speed for their network users, which WiFi technology should they employ?
You selected this option
They should implement additional 2.4GHz access points with Bluetooth technology to enhance the current network range and speed.
You selected this option
They should use access points that support WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 technology for improved performance on the 5GHz band.
You selected this option
Staying with 2.4GHz access points is recommended for better wall penetration, using WiFi 4 (802.11n) technology to achieve faster speeds.
You selected this option
Switching to a wired network is the only option to notice a considerable upgrade in both speed and coverage.
The office should upgrade their wireless network to access points supporting WiFi 5 (802.11ac) or WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standards. These technologies provide higher data rates and operate on the 5GHz band which, in comparison to the 2.4GHz band, offers reduced interference and the ability to handle higher bandwidth-intensive tasks. WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 devices typically support multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), which increases data throughput and connection quality. Furthermore, WiFi 6 supports Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) enhancing efficiency and capacity of the network.
