A wireless LAN installation has a 50-meter cable running between access point and a highly-directional antenna. The output signal sent and received is very weak at each end of the link. Which of the following devices should you add to the configuration to fix the problem?
A)Uni-directional amplifier
B)Uni-directional attenuator
C)Bi-directional amplifier
D)Bi-directional attenuator

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

You should add a bi-directional amplifier to fix the problem.
Key Takeaway: Adding a bi-directional amplifier in this scenario will amplify the signal produced by the access point before the antenna transmits the signal. Although the received signal has the same amplitude, the bi-directional amplifier boosts the signal before it enters the access point so that the signal. This ensures that the signal is above the amplitude threshold of the access point.
