An employee is working from a hotel room and uses the hotel's Wi-Fi. The employee's VPN client fails to connect. Which action is the most appropriate next step?

Use the hotel's wired Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.

Change the VPN protocol to a less secure one to force a connection.

Check whether the hotel Wi-Fi requires a captive portal login before the VPN can connect.

Disable the VPN and continue working because the hotel Wi-Fi is password-protected.

A consultant is setting up a temporary office in a building that only provides wired Ethernet jacks. The consultant's laptop has no Ethernet port, but the office router supports both wired and wireless connections. The consultant needs the most secure connection available without purchasing additional hardware. What should the consultant do?

Connect to the router's Wi-Fi using WEP encryption.

Use a cellular hotspot from the consultant's phone instead of the office network.

Use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to connect directly to the wired jack.

Connect to the router's Wi-Fi using WPA2-PSK with a strong passphrase.
