A technician has been tasked with installing and configuring a wireless access point for the
engineering department. After the AP has been installed, there have been reports the employees
from other departments have been connecting to it without approval. Which of the following would
BEST address these concerns?
A.
Change the SSID of the AP so that it reflects a different department, obscuring its ownership
B.
Implement WPA2 encryption in addition to WEP to protect the data-in-transit
C.
Configure the AP to allow only to devices with pre-approved hardware addresses
D.
Lower the antenna’s power so that it only covers the engineering department’s offices
Can someone tell me why this answer is not C. If you are outside of the engineering department you will still be able to connect to it.

I have the same opinion as you. I will choose C

yeah–the antenna power answer is not really possible. Few departments in a square building are round and even fewer can deal with signals that bounce. C is the only viable answer..

If we are talking from a building to another building then ‘D’ would have been the correct answer. But from department to department with no mention of the distance between the departments, the correct answer should be C.

I also think it is C – hardware addresses are in fact MAC addresses, and the best way to meet the requirement would be to perform MAC filtering. This way the antenna’s power can remain as strong. Also, lowering the power would not stop people from other departments coming closer with a laptop and accessing the wi-fi connection
