Which one of the following should be the first step when troubleshooting a WLAN issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A STA that supports 802.11k Radio Measurement would send a Neighbor Request to an AP to request a list of neighboring APs which the STA can use as roaming candidates. A Neighbor Request is an Action frame that contains a subelement specifying the type of information that the STA wants to receive from the AP. A Neighbor Report is an Action frame that contains a subelement with a list of neighboring APs that match the criteria specified in the Neighbor Request. The Neighbor Report provides information such as BSSID, channel, operating class, and PHY type of each neighboring AP. This information helps the STA to perform intelligent roaming decisions based on signal quality, load, and compatibility .

Troubleshooting a WLAN issue? I thought that was what the IT guy was for. Just unplug it and plug it back in, right?

Identifying probable causes is always a good idea, but I feel like that's the second step. I'll go with C.

Once we see if any obvious issues stand out, we can then move on to identifying probable causes.

But if we don't define the problem first, how will we know what to look for in the scan?

Hmm, an initial WLAN scan sounds like a good place to start. Option C for me.
