Explanation
Enabling wireless encryption (WPA2/WPA3) secures a WLAN for all device types with minimal ongoing management, making it the best fit for the stated requirements.
Common mistakes.
- B. Resetting usernames and passwords on network accounts addresses user authentication on the domain, not unauthorized wireless access during a remodel.
- C. Assigning static IP addresses increases management overhead - every authorized device must be manually configured - and does not prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the WLAN.
- D. MAC filtering requires manually maintaining an approved list of device MAC addresses, which is high overhead and does not scale well when various device types need access.
