and MAC address filtering is not viable for large number of users.
The correct answer is D by executing A and setting D.
A is the answer:
“Using encryption is the most effective way to secure your network from intruders. Two main types of encryption are available for this purpose: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your computer, router, and other equipment must use the same encryption.”
NOTE: WEP no longer considered secure so best to use WPA2.
I agree. It should be “A”
MAC address will send in clear text so can be spoofed. I will bet for A
