B. 24
C. 18
D. 6
Question 4
Given:
In your regulatory domain, a Tx Power Level of "1" is equivalent to 17 dBm.

In units of mW, what is the actual transmit power for an AP configured at a Tx Power Level of "4"?
A. 12.5 mW
B. 8 mW
C. 50 mW
D. 6.25 mW
Question 5
In a convention center, you have received complaints about the WLAN infrastructure. At this moment, the are only two APs in one auditorium.
