A homeowner wants to secure their Wi-Fi but also wants to allow guests to use the internet without giving them the main passphrase. They have a router that supports multiple SSIDs. What is the best approach?

Create a guest SSID with WPA2-Personal and a different passphrase

Use the same SSID and passphrase for guests

Disable encryption on the guest SSID

Use WPA3-Enterprise for the guest SSID

A user has a wireless router that only supports WPA2. They want to improve security. They have already set a strong passphrase. What else can they do to improve wireless security?

Disable WPS and update the router firmware

Reduce the number of allowed devices to one

Enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

Change the SSID to a random name

A company is deploying a new Wi-Fi network and wants to support the latest security standards. However, some legacy IoT devices only support WPA2. The company wants to maintain high security for corporate devices. What is the best design?

Use WPA2-Enterprise for all devices

Use WPA3-Personal for all devices

Use WPA2-Personal for all devices

Use WPA3-Enterprise for corporate devices and a separate WPA2-Personal SSID for IoT devices

A company's Wi-Fi network uses WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP-MSCHAPv2. They are experiencing credential theft attacks. They want to upgrade security without replacing the existing RADIUS server. What should they do?

Switch to WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X and EAP-TLS

Keep WPA2-Enterprise but use a longer password

Use WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase

A network administrator is configuring a wireless network for a small business. The business has a mix of devices, some of which only support WPA2. The administrator wants to use WPA3 but also needs to support these older devices. They are considering using WPA3 transition mode. What is a potential security concern with this approach?

Transition mode requires a RADIUS server

Transition mode allows WPA2 devices to connect, which may be less secure

Transition mode disables encryption

Transition mode forces all devices to use WPA3
