I feel confident about MAC Filtering. It’s straightforward.

C) RAS is not relevant here. Focus on wireless security.

True, but it's still better than just using SSID.

A) MAC Filtering is effective but can be spoofed.

Right! WEP is outdated. We need stronger measures.

B) SSID is not enough. Anyone can see it.

Agreed! MAC Filtering adds a layer of security.

I think A) MAC Filtering is the best choice. It restricts access based on device addresses.

A) MAC Filtering is solid, but it’s not foolproof.

Wait, can MAC Filtering really stop all unauthorized access? Sounds risky.

WEP is outdated, don’t even consider it!

I disagree, SSID is just as important for security.

Heike 3 months ago

Definitely go with A) MAC Filtering. It's the best way to control access.

Carin 3 months ago

I feel like RAS might be related to remote access, but it doesn't seem to fit this scenario about wireless network security.

Avery 3 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I believe WEP is outdated and not secure enough for this purpose.

Johana 3 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about SSID being more about network visibility rather than access control.

Tawanna 4 months ago

I think MAC Filtering is the right choice since it allows you to specify which devices can connect based on their hardware addresses.
