You have installed a PCIe wireless NIC in a computer desktop in a small office environment that
cannot be wired for an Ethernet network. Despite the fact that the nearest access point is well
within range, the computer still receives a poor Wi-Fi signal. What can you do to improve the
computer’s reception?
A. Turn up the sensitivity on the PCIe wireless NIC.
B. Install a PCIe wireless NIC with a stronger receiver.
C. Install an external USB wireless NIC that can have its antenna placed to get better reception.
D. Change the entire wireless network to use an 802.11 standard that has greater range.
Solution
C. Internal wireless NICs have the antenna directly connected to the NIC so that it sits at the
back of the computer. This might not be the ideal location to receive Wi-Fi signals, even if the
computer is within range otherwise. Using a USB wireless NIC with an external antenna that can
be moved for better reception is a more workable option.
