A small business owner wants to improve the security of their wireless network. Which of the following actions should they prioritize to most effectively secure their WiFi connection?
Enable WPA3 encryption on the wireless router.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).
Change the service set identifier (SSID) from its default name.
Using WPA3 (WiFi Protected Access 3) encryption provides the most robust security for a wireless network compared to older encryption methods like WPA2 or WEP. Changing the service set identifier (SSID) from its default name increases security by making it less obvious to potential attackers, but it doesn't provide the same level of protection as WPA3 encryption. Disabling Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) increases security but is not as critical as securing the wireless connection itself with strong encryption. Enabling dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) reservations can help manage network devices but does not significantly improve wireless security.
