Comptia Network + Wireless

Instructions:
  • Answer 29 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. An electromagnetic wave of a set frequency that is used to carry data






2. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels simultaneously






3. The ability of an antenna to focus or aim an electromagnetic signal in a particular direction






4. The ability of an antenna to transmit electromagnetic signals in all directions






5. An unrestricted path for network transmissions






6. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels sequentially






7. A wireless network that contains one or more access points (WAPs)
