In a busy municipal training room, one ancient adapter transmits very slowly and seems to starve newer laptops. Which AP feature is meant to allocate airtime more evenly?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A slow station can hog the medium the way one stalling car blocks a whole lane. Airtime fairness tries to share transmit time more evenly so one sluggish client does not dominate. It is about fair airtime, not hiding the SSID or resurrecting WEP.
Full Explanation
Airtime fairness mechanisms allocate medium time more evenly among associated clients so low-rate stations do not consume disproportionate airtime. That protects aggregate performance in mixed-client halls. Hiding SSIDs, WEP, or disabling MIMO are not airtime fairness controls.
