Users on an IEEE 802.11n network are complaining of slow speeds. The network administrator checks the AP and verifies it is operating properly. What can be done to improve the wireless performance in the network?

Users on an IEEE 802.11n network are complaining of slow speeds. The network administrator checks the AP and verifies it is operating properly. What can be done to improve the wireless performance in the network?

• Switch to an 802.11g AP.
• Split the wireless traffic between the 802.11n 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band.
• Set the AP to mixed mode.
• Change the authentication method on the AP.

Explanation: The easiest way to improve wireless performance is to split the 802.11n wireless traffic between the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band. IEEE 802.11n networks can use the two bands as two separate wireless networks to help manage the traffic.
