Question

You are a help desk support technician at a retail department store and you receive a call from a manager in the administrative offices. He complains that the performance of his 802.11g/n notebook computer decreases several times throughout the day. Upon visiting the customer, you realize several people are performing inventory using 802.11b barcode scanners in the adjacent room. What is most likely the cause of the poor performance for the manager’s notebook computer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Extended Rate Physical OFDM

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that the most likely cause for this poor performance is Extended Rate Physical OFDM. This is a technology that increases the bandwidth of 802.11 radio signals. Unfortunately this is also causing those radio signals from the bar-code scanners to increase their bandwidth and interfere with your notebooks performance.
