Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This condition is known as Near/Far.
Key Takeaway: All client stations have a fixed power output. However, in some cases, a low-powered client station that is a great distance from the access point could potentially become an unheard client if other high powered stations are very close to the access point. The transmissions of the high-powered stations can raise the noise floor to a higher level that would prevent the lower-powered station from being heard. This condition is referred to as Near/Far condition.
