    Question 1 is asking about 802.11ac (which is solely 5ghz). Why theres mentioned 2.4GHz in the answer as non overlapping channels band and theres writte that its reccomended to use, when according to your answer 2.4GHz is incorrect answer?

    The answer to question 8 describes 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) not 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5). 802.11ac only operates in the 5GHz band.

      Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your input. Here's a more detailed explanation:
      You're right that the 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standards are different in several key aspects:
      Frequency Bands:
      802.11ac operates exclusively in the 5 GHz band.
      In contrast, 802.11ax operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This gives it an advantage, as 2.4 GHz networks are better at penetrating solid objects and experience less interference.
      Data Transfer Speeds:
      Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) offers significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). With a single device and a Wi-Fi 6 router, you can experience up to 40% higher potential speeds due to more efficient data encoding and higher throughput. The chips that encode and decode these signals are more powerful and efficient.
      Performance in Dense Environments:
      802.11ax is specifically designed to enhance performance in environments with numerous connected devices. It implements technologies such as OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) to boost capacity and efficiency. This makes it a superior choice for crowded settings like airports, stadiums, or offices with a high number of connected devices.
      Energy Efficiency:
      Wi-Fi 6 introduces a feature called Target Wake Time, which significantly improves the battery life of client devices. This innovation allows the network to schedule check-in times with devices, reducing the time their antennas actively search for a signal and conserving power.
      In summary, while both 802.11ac and 802.11ax offer high-speed wireless connectivity, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) provides several advantages, including operation in both frequency bands, faster data transfer speeds, improved performance in dense environments, and enhanced energy efficiency.
      Is there anything else you'd like to know about these standards or any other questions you might have?

    Question 9 is confusing. I know that the recommended channels on the 2.4Ghz band are 1,6 & 11. So wouldn't the question ask what are the non overlapping channels? What in the wording of your question am I not understanding? You say the answer is 11, but that is total channels NOT channels that do not overlap. Your answer says 3, yet that is not one of the answer options.

    • @techvaultacademy

      Thank you for your comment. The question is asking how many non-overlapping channels are available, not how many are recommended. The available channels are the ones that are legally allowed to be used, regardless of whether they overlap or not. In the US, there are 11 available channels in the 2.4 GHz band, and 3 of them are non-overlapping.

      @@techvaultacademyThe wording of the question is “How many non-overlapping channels are available in the US?” in the context of 2.4GHz networks. So it is not asking about recommended channels, or total channels available, it is asking for non-overlapping channels available. So wouldn’t it be 3? I am struggling with how the answer could be 11, as that would be the total number of available channels, not available and non-overlapping channels.

    In one question you say that 802.11ac can support up to 1gbps, and in another you claim that 802.11ax is 10 times faster than ac, but only runs at 1.3gbps.

    • @plaguedoct0r
      @plaguedoct0r Рік тому +2

      And then in another claim 802.11ac can run at 1.3gbps!!! You're all over the place!

      I appreciate your keen observation, and I understand how the information might seem a bit confusing. Let's clarify these points:
      1. **802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5):**
      - In the first question, when we mentioned 802.11ac supporting 1Gbps, this is the theoretical maximum data rate under ideal conditions. Real-world performance often falls below this due to factors like interference and distance from the router.
      2. **802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6):**
      - While 802.11ax has a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps, it offers significant improvements in terms of efficiency, especially in crowded environments with multiple devices. The "10 times faster" comparison is not based solely on the maximum data rate but also considers its performance in high-density scenarios.
      In essence, 802.11ax is designed to provide better real-world performance in scenarios with numerous connected devices, even if the theoretical maximum data rate is not drastically higher than 802.11ac. The choice between these standards depends on the specific network requirements and usage scenarios. I hope this clarifies things for you!

    Shouldn't the answer question nine be three? There are three channels, 1, 6, and 11.

    • @techvaultacademy
      @techvaultacademy  Рік тому +3

      Thank you for your feedback. You make a fair point - there are indeed three non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz band: 1, 6, and 11. The question could have been clearer by asking specifically how many non-overlapping channels are available in the 2.4GHz band in the United States. While the 5GHz band has more channels, the exam question is focused just on 2.4GHz. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify this so others don't get confused. Your comment will help improve future practice questions and explanations on this topic.

      I think it becomes ambiguous with the term "non-overlapping".. you clearly state in the following wrong answers that there are only 3 non-overlapping channels in 2.4Hz... 11 channels total.

    I love your content but do you have an AI reader or something? Listening to this without looking at the screen is painful haha. I try and listen to something all the time throughout the day and the way the answers and standards are read gets confusing. I guess that just means I need to study more!! Keep up the content man!
