A network engineer is deploying several new wireless access points in an office to improve Wi-Fi coverage. The engineer wants to minimize interference between the access points. Which configuration should be implemented to achieve this goal?
Use non-overlapping channels for adjacent access points.
Configure each access point to operate on the same channel.
Set the transmit power of each access point to the maximum level.
To minimize interference between access points, non-overlapping channels should be used for adjacent access points. This practice reduces co-channel interference and ensures better wireless performance. Configuring each access point to operate on the same channel can cause overlapping signals and increase interference. Setting the transmit power of each access point to the maximum level may extend coverage but can also amplify interference in overlapping areas. Disabling the Service Set Identifier (SSID) broadcast does not affect interference levels but makes the network less visible to users.
