Troubleshooting network connectivity is a complex responsibility that can require various approaches and techniques in order to resolve issues. In this course, you’ll learn about using the appropriate network troubleshooting software tools and commands. You’ll explore software tools such as Wi-Fi analyzers and port scanners and learn about traditional command line tools and network platform commands. You'll also examine how to troubleshoot common wireless connectivity issues including issues relating to specifications and limitations. Next, you’ll learn about common considerations and issues pertaining to wireless connectivity. You’ll explore general network troubleshooting best practices as they relate to wired networks. Finally, you'll examine considerations such as routing tables, VLAN assignment, and other common issues. This course is one of a collection of courses that prepares learners for the N10-008: CompTIA Network+ certification exam.
