Given that hardware upgrades are not an option, the best configuration to provide a solution for increased bandwidth on wireless laptops is Channel bonding. Here's why: Increasing RSSi: RSSi (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is related to signal strength but does not directly address bandwidth limitations. MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output): While MIMO improves throughput, it requires compatible hardware on both ends (access points and client devices). Since hardware upgrades are not allowed, MIMO is not a viable solution. Channel bonding: This technique combines multiple adjacent channels to increase overall bandwidth. By using multiple channels simultaneously, the available bandwidth can be expanded without changing the hardware. Reconfiguring SSID: Changing the SSID (Service Set Identifier) won't directly impact bandwidth; it only affects network identification. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Channel bonding2.
