Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1101 exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 3
[All 220-1101 Questions]

An IT specialist sets up a wireless router in a SOHO environment. Afterwards, several devices cannot access the internet and are assigned IP addresses starting with 169.254. Which of the following is the best action to resolve this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An IP address beginning with 169.254 indicates that the device has not received a valid IP from the DHCP server. Rebooting the router can resolve minor configuration or network glitches, allowing DHCP to function correctly. The other options, such as adjusting lease time or static IP addresses, do not address the core problem. CompTIA A+ Core 1 objectives emphasize DHCP troubleshooting in SOHO networks.

Increasing the DHCP pool size might help in this situation.

Rebooting the router is like turning it off and on again. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna start questioning my entire IT career.

I believe using static IP addresses could also solve the problem.

Hmm, I wonder if the router is just experiencing a caffeine shortage. Maybe we should hook it up to an espresso machine, that might do the trick.

Using static IP addresses could work, but that's a lot of extra work. Rebooting the router sounds like the easiest fix.

Increasing the DHCP pool size might work, but I'm not sure if that's the root cause. Shortening the lease time seems like a weird solution.
