CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 365

A technician is setting up a SOHO router for a customer. Per the customer's requirements, data security is the highest priority.
Which of the following provides the MOST security for the network?

Answer options

• A. Set up encryption for wireless
• B. Set up port forwarding
• C. Set static IP addresses
• D. Change the default SSID

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Setting up encryption for wireless (option A) is the most effective way to secure the network as it protects data transmitted over the airwaves. Port forwarding (option B) can expose the network to external threats, while static IPs (option C) and changing the SSID (option D) do not directly enhance the encryption of the data being transmitted.
