A remote records clerk at the far edge of a municipal WLAN stays associated but is stuck negotiating 1–6 Mbps rates, making file sync unusable. What performance issue is primarily indicated?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hanging onto the AP from the cheap seats at walking speed rates will not fill a file sync. Low data rates chew airtime and kill throughput even if you are 'connected.' Move closer, improve coverage, or stop living on the ragged edge.
Full Explanation
Association alone does not guarantee usable performance. Clients forced to legacy or very low data rates at the cell edge consume excessive airtime and deliver poor throughput. Troubleshooting focuses on RF distance, SNR, and coverage rather than regenerating the PSK. Recognizing low data rates as a Domain 5.2 performance fault is essential for CWTS technicians.
