Suggested Answer: D

Microwaves are known to interfere with the 2.4GHz frequency, which is the same frequency used by many wireless networks. This can cause signal degradation and intermittent connectivity issues, especially if the WAP is placed near such devices.

I'm going with C. That 2.4GHz band can be a noisy neighborhood, especially if they've got some old cordless phones or Bluetooth devices in the mix.

C: I see your point, but I still think it's C. Excessive noise can really mess with a wireless network.

But wouldn't moving the WAP cause signal reflection issues?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be excessive noise from all the coffee machines in the office? This sounds like a caffeinated conundrum.

B seems more likely to me. If the WAP was moved, it could be causing signal reflection issues. Those intermittent problems sound like a classic case of multipath interference.
