A business owner has set up a wireless network for her cafe. Some customers have complained that the Wi-Fi signal is weak in certain areas of the cafe. Which of the following factors could be causing interference with the wireless network's radio frequency signals?
Using the latest version of a web browser on customer devices
Weak passwords set on the Wi-Fi network
Thick walls or physical obstructions within the cafe
A large number of customers connected to the Wi-Fi
Interference and attenuation factors, such as physical obstructions and other electronic devices, can disrupt the radio frequency signals in wireless networks. Thick walls, for example, can block or weaken the signal strength, resulting in areas with poor connectivity. While the number of connected devices and weak passwords does not cause interference, they may affect the performance and security of the network, respectively.
