Task Summary Actions you were required to perform: In Install a high-gain directional antenna on the roof of Building A In Install a high-gain directional antenna on the roof of Building B In Provide better WiFi coverage to Patio AHide Details

Install an outdoor WAP Attach an outdoor directional antenna to the WAP

In Provide better WiFi coverage to Patio BHide Details

Install an outdoor WAP Attach an outdoor directional antenna to the WAP

Explanation The connection between the buildings should use a high-gain directional antenna. Using this antenna will provide a very strong, concentrated signal in only one direction. Using a high-gain omnidirectional antenna would broadcast the signal in all directions for a very long distance, introducing a security vulnerability.

For the patio, you should use an outdoor WAP. Outdoor WAPs are designed to withstand outdoor conditions, such as heat, cold, and rain. Because you need to provide coverage to only the patio areas, the best antenna choice would be a directional antenna.

Complete this lab as follows:

1. On the Shelf, expand the High-gain Antennas category. 2. Drag the High-gain Antenna (Directional) to the installation area on the roof of Building A. 3. Drag the remaining High-gain Antenna (Directional) to the installation area on the roof of Building B. 4. On the Shelf, expand the Wireless Access Points category. 5.
