high enough to get around most obstacles is recommended. On the chance that the signal is actually traveling too far, some access points include power level

B: This option would “cloak” the network, not limit its signal strength.
C: This deals with authentication and would not make sure that the network is inaccessible from the parking area.
D: This would require clients to furnish the security administrator with their device’s MAC address.
