Suggested Answer: A, E

2.4 GHz: The lower-frequency 2.4 GHz band propagates farther and better penetrates obstacles than 5 GHz or 6 GHz, giving you greater link distance.

Patch antenna: A directional (patch) antenna focuses RF energy into a narrow beam, maximizing gain and range between two fixed points -- the best for a long-haul wireless link.

5GHz has better speed, but range? Nah.

I’d pick the omnidirectional antenna too.

I’m a bit confused; I thought 5GHz had better speed but shorter range. Does that mean it’s not ideal for this situation?

I practiced a similar question, and I think 2.4GHz and an omnidirectional antenna could be the best combo for range.

I think the omnidirectional antenna would be a good choice for coverage, but I'm not sure about the frequency.

I remember that the 2.4GHz band has a longer range but is more prone to interference.
