Spectrum Analyzer

A network technician is setting up a WiFi network in a multi-tenant building.

When trying to determine the best channel, which of the following is the BEST tool to use?

A.

Protocol analyzer

B.

Tone generator

C.

Spectrum analyzer

D.

Multimeter.

C.

When setting up a WiFi network in a multi-tenant building, it is important to choose the best channel to minimize interference from other wireless networks in the area. The BEST tool to use for determining the best channel is a spectrum analyzer, option C.

A spectrum analyzer is a device that analyzes the frequency spectrum of a signal. In the case of a WiFi network, it can be used to scan the surrounding area for other wireless networks and their channels. This information can then be used to choose a channel that is not already in use or has minimal interference.

Option A, a protocol analyzer, is used to analyze network traffic and is not the best tool for determining the best WiFi channel.

Option B, a tone generator, is used to test and troubleshoot cables and wiring, and is not applicable to WiFi networks.

Option D, a multimeter, is used to measure voltage, current, and resistance, and is also not applicable to WiFi networks.

In conclusion, a spectrum analyzer is the BEST tool to use when trying to determine the best WiFi channel in a multi-tenant building.
