Question 470
An office installs a new 6 GHz-capable AP, but an older 802.11ac laptop cannot detect the dedicated 6 GHz-only SSID. Which result would best establish that the correction succeeded?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is an operational test of the required outcome rather than merely proof a setting exists. It checks that a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN no longer prevents the service.
Incorrect Answers
This result may validate another network change, but it does not demonstrate recovery from the fault here: a 5 GHz-only 802.11ac radio cannot discover or join a 6 GHz WLAN.
That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Protected clients negotiate required PMF and the old device no longer weakens the secure SSID” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.
That explanation does not distinguish this option. “Capacity tests show lower contention and better per-client throughput under representative attendance” is an alternative action, but it does not by itself establish the outcome required in this case.
