Which of the following should be tested during an RF site survey?
  1. RF coverage with stationery vehicles
  2. RF coverage with microwave oven OFF
  3. RF coverage with 2.4 GHz phone ON
  4. RF coverage with 2.4 GHz phone OFF
Explanation
Answer - C - You should test the site for RF coverage with the 2.4 GHz phone on during a site survey.

Key Takeaway: Many cordless telephones use the 2.4 GHz frequency; the frequency at which Wi-Fi standards 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n operate. This can cause a significant decrease in speed or sometimes the total blocking of the Wi-Fi signal when a conversation on the phone takes place. Some of the ways to avoid this is to use the Buy DECT 6.0, 1.9 GHz, 5.8 GHz or 900 MHz phones, use VoIP/WiFi phones, and test several different Wi-Fi channels to avoid the phone channels.
