Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CWNA-109 exam?
CWNA-109 is the current version of the Certified Wireless Network Administrator exam from CWNP. It covers RF fundamentals, 802.11 standards including Wi-Fi 6/6E and Wi-Fi 7, WLAN design and site surveys, wireless security (WPA3), and troubleshooting. The exam has 60 multiple-choice questions with a 90-minute time limit, requiring a 70% score to pass.
How hard is the CWNA exam?
CWNA is considered an intermediate-difficulty exam. The RF math section (EIRP calculations, Rule of 10s and 3s) challenges many candidates, and the breadth of 802.11 standards requires thorough study. With 60-100 hours of preparation over 6-10 weeks, including hands-on experience with wireless equipment, most candidates are well-prepared.
What jobs can I get with CWNA certification?
CWNA certifies you for roles including: Wireless Network Engineer ($75-110K), WLAN Administrator ($65-95K), RF Engineer ($80-120K), Network Design Specialist ($70-100K), and IT Infrastructure Engineer with wireless focus. CWNA is recognized across vendors (Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Meraki) as a vendor-neutral wireless expertise validation.
Is CWNA certification worth it in 2026?
Yes — CWNA remains the industry's premier vendor-neutral wireless certification. With Wi-Fi 6E deployment accelerating and Wi-Fi 7 arriving, wireless expertise is in high demand. CWNA validates skills applicable across all vendor platforms and is the prerequisite for advanced CWNP certifications (CWSP, CWDP, CWAP, CWNE).
What is the difference between CWNA and other wireless certifications?
CWNA is vendor-neutral, covering wireless fundamentals applicable to any platform. Vendor-specific certs like Cisco's CCNP Enterprise Wireless or Aruba's ACCP focus on specific product configuration. CWNA provides the foundational RF and protocol knowledge, while vendor certs add product-specific implementation skills. Many professionals hold both CWNA and a vendor certification.
