A. B. C. D.B.
When the TCP Power Threshold is changed from the default value to -65 dBm, it means that the minimum received signal strength required for a client device to maintain a TCP connection with an access point is now -65 dBm.
The TCP Power Threshold setting is used to control the client's transmit power, which is the power at which the client device transmits data to the access point. By setting a lower TCP Power Threshold, the client's transmit power is reduced, which in turn reduces the range of the client device.
Therefore, the expected outcome of changing the TCP Power Threshold to -65 dBm is a decreased client signal strength, which means that the client device will need to be closer to the access point to maintain a stable connection.
The decreased client signal strength may also result in a decreased cell size, which is the area covered by the access point's signal, as the client devices are now closer to the access point. This can also result in decreased channel overlap, as fewer access points are needed to cover the same area, reducing interference and allowing for more efficient use of available channels.
However, changing the TCP Power Threshold does not affect the received sensitivity of the access point, as this is a fixed value determined by the hardware of the access point. Therefore, the expected outcome of changing the TCP Power Threshold is a decreased client signal strength, which will affect the cell size and channel overlap, but not the received sensitivity of the access point.
In summary, the correct answer is D. decreased client signal strength.
