CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 76

A user is configuring a new SOHO Wi-Fi router for the first time. Which of the following settings should the user change FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Encryption
• B. Wi-Fi channel
• C. Default passwords
• D. Service set identifier

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as changing the default passwords is crucial for securing the network against unauthorized access. If the default passwords remain unchanged, it can leave the router vulnerable to attacks. While encryption, Wi-Fi channel, and SSID settings are important, they are secondary to securing the router with a strong password.
