Jane, an administrator, needs to make sure the wireless network is not accessible from the parking area of their office. Which of the following would BEST help Jane when deploying a new access point?

The correct answer is A. Placement of antenna. Antenna placement directly controls the physical coverage area (RF footprint) of a wireless access point. By adjusting the antenna's position, orientation, or using a directional antenna, Jane can focus the wireless signal inward toward the building and reduce or eliminate signal

Explanation

Antenna placement directly controls the physical coverage area (RF footprint) of a wireless access point. By adjusting the antenna's position, orientation, or using a directional antenna, Jane can focus the wireless signal inward toward the building and reduce or eliminate signal in the parking area. Disabling the SSID (B) hides the network name but the signal is still present and discoverable. Implementing WPA2 (C) provides encryption and authentication but does not reduce the signal's range or direction. MAC filtering (D) restricts which devices can connect but does not prevent the signal from reaching the parking lot.
