CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 1

Which of the following is a reason to use WEP over WPA?

Answer options

• A. Device compatibility
• B. Increased security
• C. TACACS
• D. Multifactor authentication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as WEP may be used in scenarios where older devices that do not support WPA are in use, ensuring compatibility. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because WPA offers superior security compared to WEP, TACACS is unrelated to wireless encryption, and multifactor authentication does not pertain to the choice between these two protocols.
