Q: 16
An engineer changed the TPC Power Threshold for a wireless deployment from the default value to -
65 dBm. The engineer conducts a new post-deployment Survey to validate the results. What is the
expected outcome?

Probably D for decreased channel overlap. Upping the threshold should in theory tighten AP coverage, so less overlap, right? I might be missing something but that's what comes to mind. Anyone disagree?
Option C
Not B, A
Nah, I'd pick D here. Increasing the threshold usually means less channel overlap, not bigger cell sizes. Common trap in practice exams.
Its A here. Changing the TPC Power Threshold to -65 dBm means the APs will use higher transmit power, so the coverage area (cell size) gets bigger. Pretty sure that's how Cisco expects it.
I don’t think it’s D. A is correct since raising the TPC Power Threshold makes APs boost their transmit power, so coverage (cell size) actually increases. Trap here is thinking higher threshold means less overlap, but it's the opposite.
I don’t think C is right here. A is correct since increasing the TPC Power Threshold like that makes the APs push more power, so their cell size increases. Pretty sure that’s standard behavior, but let me know if I missed something.
Had something like this in a mock, it's A.
Nah, it's A - D tricks people but raising the TPC threshold actually makes cells bigger.
Seen similar in practice tests, A. Check the official guide for TPC topics.
