A SOHO location is being remodeled and the users are concerned about unauthorized traffic on their network during the remodel. The WLAN needs to be able to allow various types of devices to securely…

Setting strong wireless encryption such as WPA3 or WPA2 requires only a single configuration on the access point; any device with the passphrase can connect securely at any time. This provides robust security with very low administrative overhead compared to per-device management approaches.

Resetting usernames and passwords on network accounts addresses user authentication on the domain, not unauthorized wireless access during a remodel.

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.

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.
