A user has a wireless network with SSID broadcast disabled. They are having trouble connecting a new device that requires the SSID to be entered manually. The user knows the SSID and passphrase. What is the most likely reason the device cannot connect?

The device is configured to only show networks that broadcast their SSID

The access point is not broadcasting any signal

A homeowner wants to set up a guest Wi-Fi network that is separate from the main network. They want the guest network to be easy for visitors to find, but they do not want it to be confused with the main network. What is the best approach?

Configure a distinct SSID for the guest network and enable SSID broadcast

Set the guest network to use WEP encryption

Disable SSID broadcast on the guest network

Use the same SSID as the main network but with a different passphrase

A company has a wireless network protected by WPA2-PSK. An employee's personal tablet was seen connecting to the network, even though the employee was not given the passphrase. The administrator suspects the passphrase was shared. The company wants to prevent the personal tablet from connecting without disrupting the employee's company laptop. What is the most effective immediate action?

Add the personal tablet's MAC address to a deny list

A technician is configuring a wireless router for a small office. The office has a mix of older laptops that only support WPA2 and newer smartphones that support WPA3. The technician wants to maximize security while ensuring all devices can connect. What should the technician configure?

Enable WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode with a strong passphrase

Enable WPA3-only mode and require all devices to upgrade

Disable encryption and rely on MAC address filtering

Enable WEP with a long key to support all devices
