Answers

D.

Enable the highest available wireless standard.

Answers
D.

Enable the highest available wireless standard.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The first thing a user should do when setting up a new wireless access point is to change the default password. Default passwords are well-known and pose a significant security risk. Changing this ensures that unauthorized individuals cannot easily gain access to the access point's management interface.

A . Change the SSID to a unique name is important but not the first priority.

C . Enable WPA2 encryption is a key step for securing the network, but only after securing the device itself.

D . Enable the highest available wireless standard improves performance but should come after securing the access point.
