CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 816

A technician wants to configure a wireless router at a small office that manages a family-owned dry cleaning business. The router will support five laptops, personal smartphones, a wireless printer, and occasional guests. Which of the following wireless configurations is BEST implemented in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Single SSID with WPA2-Enterprise
• B. 802.1X with a guest VLAN
• C. Dual SSID with WPA2-PSK
• D. Captive portal with two-factor authentication

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best choice is C, Dual SSID with WPA2-PSK, as it allows for a secure network for the business and a separate one for guests, ensuring security and ease of access. Option A, WPA2-Enterprise, is more complex and not necessary for this small setup. Option B, 802.1X with a guest VLAN, involves more configuration than needed, and option D, a captive portal with two-factor authentication, adds unnecessary complexity for a small office environment.
