1.3 Given a scenario, configure basic mobile device network connectivity and provide application support.
Objective 1.3 sits in Mobile Devices, which carries 13% of the A+ Core 1 exam. The questions below are original, written from the official objective title above, and each explanation cites the CompTIA page it rests on.

A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
Which additional hardware component must a laptop have installed to enable 5G cellular data support in Windows 11?
The concept
A radio generation is set by silicon, not by software. Firmware can expose a feature the hardware already implements, but nothing in the operating system makes a chipset speak a protocol it was never built for. When a network type is missing, ask what was specified when the machine was ordered.
Why this answer
5G cellular data support requires a 5G capable modem in the device; without it, the device cannot register on a 5G network regardless of other hardware present.
- Correct: a 5G capable modem is the specific requirement for 5G cellular data support.
- BA Wi-Fi 6E adapter governs wireless LAN speed, not cellular data, and does not enable 5G.
- CTPM 2.0 supports security features like BitLocker and Windows Hello, unrelated to cellular data.
- DAn NFC reader supports tap-based pairing and payments, not cellular network registration.
- EA Bluetooth adapter supports short range pairing, not cellular network connectivity.

No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A technician wants a Windows 11 laptop to mirror its screen wirelessly to a smart TV, with no cables, using the built-in projection feature. Which network capability must the laptop's wireless adapter support?
Sample question 2 of 3
A user's Windows 11 laptop has no fingerprint reader or infrared camera for biometric sign in. To satisfy two factor authentication, the user pairs a smartphone with the laptop over its short range wireless connection. Which capability is this?
Sample question 3 of 3
A network administrator installs a Wi-Fi 6E capable access point so Windows 11 laptops can use the new standard. What must each laptop also have to actually connect at Wi-Fi 6E speeds?
That’s 3 of the full A+ Core 1 bank.
