Explanation

Configuring a wireless AP's SSID (the network name), encryption level (e.g., WPA2/WPA3), and shared key (password) are the fundamental steps required to set up and connect to a wireless network - without these, devices cannot identify or securely join the network. Option A describes PKI/certificate infrastructure, which applies to enterprise authentication (like 802.1X/EAP), not standard wireless setup - it's a more advanced, optional layer. Options C and D are wrong because you connect to a wireless AP wirelessly, not by physically plugging into the same hub or switch as the AP; that would defeat the purpose of wireless networking entirely (and hubs/switches are wired devices). Memory tip: Think of the AP as a "radio station" - it needs a name (SSID), a security protocol (encryption), and a password (shared key) before anyone can tune in. If a question mentions basic wireless setup, look for the answer that covers all three of those elements.
