Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disabling SSID broadcasting makes the network less visible to casual observers, though it's not a foolproof security measure. Lowering radio power levels reduces the range of the wireless signal, making it harder for outsiders to detect and connect to the network from places like the parking lot. Enabling MAC filtering allows only devices with specific MAC addresses to connect to the network, adding a layer of security by restricting access to known devices.
