An interviewer will ask you this question to determine how well you maintain your current knowledge of technology associated with a computer network architect's role. The IT industry moves rapidly with changes and new developments occurring daily. Staying up to date on these is a critical requirement for a computer network architect. The interviewer will use this question to confirm that you are aware of recent developments in the field.
"The latest technology for routers is called Wi-Fi 6. This faster standard makes the many devices in homes and businesses perform better with fewer errors or outages. While Wi-Fi 6 routers are currently available, Wi-Fi 6-enabled devices are not widely available. These routers use the most recent Wi-Fi standard, 802.11ac, with a maximum transfer speed of 1.3Gbps. 802.11ac supports devices with multi-antenna and MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) support."
Every computer network architect needs to have a strategy to maintain their knowledge and competency in this rapidly changing environment. You should be able to describe the resources you use to accomplish this and how you incorporate continuous learning into your daily schedule.
