CompTIA A+ (220-902) — Question 10

A technician has been notified that recent vulnerabilities have been discovered related to a type of SOHO router. The technician has verified that all connections and settings are appropriate. Which of the following actions should the technician take NEXT?

Answer options

• A. Change the router firewall settings
• B. Check for and apply a firmware update
• C. Reconfigure the QoS settings
• D. Change router user-names and passwords

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The right action is to check for and apply a firmware update because manufacturers often release updates to address newly discovered vulnerabilities. Changing firewall settings, reconfiguring QoS, or altering usernames and passwords does not directly mitigate the identified vulnerabilities.
