Welcome to today’s CompTIA Network+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on Subdomain 2.3 (Given a scenario, select and configure wireless devices and technologies) from the CompTIA Network+ N10-009 objectives.

This beginner-level practice test is inspired by the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and is designed to help you reinforce key networking concepts on a daily basis.

These questions are not official exam questions, nor are they brain dumps, but they reflect topics and scenarios relevant to the Network+ certification. Use them to test your knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and build daily cybersecurity habits.

CompTIA Network+ Practice Test for Subdomain 2.3 #01
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A wireless network engineer at a manufacturing plant is deploying multiple access points across the production floor. To prevent co-channel interference between adjacent APs operating in the 2.4 GHz band, the engineer must select channels that do not overlap with one another. Which set of channels satisfies this requirement?
    Question 2
    A network administrator at a law firm is upgrading the wireless infrastructure and wants to deploy the latest encryption standard that provides individualized data encryption for all clients, including those connecting to open networks through Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE). Which wireless security protocol should the administrator configure?
      Question 3
      A technician is deploying 50 access points across a large hospital campus. The IT team requires centralized management of all APs from a single platform, including firmware updates, configuration pushes, and policy enforcement. The APs themselves should offload control-plane decisions to a central device. Which access point architecture should the technician deploy?
        Question 4
        A junior network engineer is reviewing a wireless site survey report and notices that multiple access points share the same SSID but each has a unique BSSID. The engineer is asked to explain what the BSSID represents in the context of the wireless network. Which of the following correctly describes the BSSID?
          Question 5
          Users at a corporate headquarters report that their laptops frequently maintain a weak connection to a distant access point instead of roaming to a nearby AP with a stronger signal. Both nearby and distant APs support 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The wireless team enables a controller feature that automatically guides capable dual-band clients toward the less congested, higher-throughput frequency band. Which feature did the team enable?
            Question 6
            A coffee shop owner wants to provide free wireless internet access to customers but requires that each guest view and accept an acceptable use policy before being allowed to browse the internet. The owner asks the IT consultant which wireless feature should be configured to enforce this requirement. Which feature should the consultant recommend?
              Question 7
              A company's security policy requires that wireless clients be authenticated against Active Directory credentials before gaining network access, rather than using a shared passphrase distributed to all employees. The wireless administrator configures the APs to pass authentication requests to a centralized authentication server. Which authentication method is the administrator implementing?
                Question 8
                A network engineer at an outdoor stadium is planning the wireless deployment for a large open seating bowl. The team wants to install a small number of access points positioned at the center of the venue that each provide broad, 360-degree horizontal coverage across the entire seating area without requiring precise directional alignment. Which antenna type best meets this requirement?
                  Question 9
                  An organization is deploying Wi-Fi 6E access points in a high-density conference center. The wireless team expects that clients using Wi-Fi 6E will benefit from access to additional clean, uncongested spectrum that is not available on traditional 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz deployments. Which frequency band does Wi-Fi 6E extend support into?
                    Question 10
                    A wireless engineer at a retail chain is configuring 5 GHz access points in a multi-tenant office building. During the site survey, the engineer confirms that the APs must automatically detect radar signals and switch to a clear channel to avoid interfering with licensed radar systems. The APs must also adjust transmit power to meet local regulatory limits. Which 802.11 amendment defines these two regulatory compliance mechanisms?
