Question

You've just finished installing a wireless access point for a client.

What should you do to prevent unauthorized users from using the access point (AP) configuration utility?

answer

Implement MAC address filtering.


Change the administrative password on the AP.


Change the channel used by the AP's radio signal.


Isolate the AP from the client's wired network.

Answer 1

Change the administrative password on the AP.

Reason: APs ship with well‑known defaults; changing the admin password (and username if possible) prevents unauthorized users from accessing the configuration utility. The other options (MAC filtering, channel change, isolating the AP) do not reliably prevent access to the management interface.
