7. A. A hidden node problem caused by obstacles or obstructions could be resolved by adding another access point so wireless client devices would not be subject to clear channel assess-ment issues. Setting an access point to mixed mode will allow both 802.11b and 802.11g clients to connect to the network. Increasing the distance between the access point and the clients will not improve the situation but will actually make it worse. Adjusting the received signal strength on the client would improve performance for that client but would not nec-essarily solve the hidden node problem.
