If a technician is implementing a SOHO wireless solution with three access points and wants to avoid high latency, the technician should configure all devices with different channels. By configuring all devices with different channels, the technician can ensure that the wireless signals from each access point do not interfere with each other, which can cause high latency.

The technician should verify the header panel connector is properly connected. A beep code is a diagnostic tool used by motherboards to indicate issues with hardware components. This beep code may be indicating an issue with the connection between the motherboard and the case's header panel connector. This connector is responsible for providing power to the system and any connected peripherals. Therefore, the technician should verify the connection is secure and properly connected before attempting any other troubleshooting steps.

To enable devices to connect to the internet after installing a new router at a small office, the technician should configure DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on the router. DHCP is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on a network. By configuring DHCP on the router, the technician can ensure that all devices on the network are assigned a valid IP address that allows them to connect to the internet.

If all devices have a 169.254.x.x IP address, this suggests that the router is not assigning IP addresses to the devices using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Configuring the DHCP settings on the router can enable the devices to receive IP addresses automatically and access the internet.
