Which of the following wire color combinations make up quad station wire?

Green, red, black, yellow

Operation as an IEEE 802.11ac device occurs only in the 5 gigahertz (GHz) Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) radio band, so how are 802.11ac devices able to maintain compatibility with earlier standards that operate in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) radio bands?

IEEE 802.11ac devices also operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM range.

Which term describes the operation mode of a basic service set (BSS)?

It is impossible to detect collisions on a wireless LAN

What statement best describes frequency-hopping spread spectrum's (FHSS) use of frequency agility?

It refers to a radio's ability to change transmission frequency abruptly within the usable RF frequency band.

Wireless internet service providers (ISP) provide which of one of the following services?

Last mile data delivery

A customer reports a problem of no dial tone (NDT). Upon inspection, the technician notices that new carpeting has been installed. What should the technician do next?
