A company is looking to upgrade its wireless infrastructure to improve the network's speed and range within their office space. The current routers only support up to the 802.11g standard. Which wireless standard should they upgrade to for the best increase in speed and range considering modern devices?
Switch to 802.11a to prioritize range over speed.
Upgrade to 802.11n for a moderate increase in speed and range.
Upgrade to 802.11ac for the best increase in speed and range.
Revert to 802.11b to improve compatibility with older devices.
Remain on 802.11g, as it is sufficient for most office applications.
The 802.11ac standard is the most appropriate upgrade from 802.11g, as it provides significantly higher speeds and improved range. The 802.11ac operates on the 5GHz band, which has less interference compared to the 2.4GHz band used by 802.11g. The 802.11n standard also operates on 5GHz, providing better speed and range than 802.11g, but 802.11ac is superior to 802.11n in terms of overall performance. The 802.11a and 802.11b standards are outdated and would not offer the necessary improvements. The 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6, offers even better performance than 802.11ac but wasn't an option provided in the answer choices.
