A temporary USB Wi-Fi adapter on a courthouse laptop drops every time the cable is bumped, and the adapter briefly disappears from the OS. Which fault class fits best?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Bump the dongle, Wi-Fi dies—that is a loose USB/hardware-interface problem, not secret ACI that hates secure cables. Reseat or replace the flaky adapter.
Full Explanation
Intermittent loss when a USB WLAN adapter is mechanically disturbed points to a physical connection or client hardware/driver stack instability. That client-interface/driver class of connectivity fault is distinct from RF ACI explanations or security-policy myths about hidden SSIDs ejecting hardware on touch.
