A small business owner is setting up their wireless network in their office, which is in a building shared with several other businesses. The owner does not want to disable the SSID broadcasting due to visiting customers needing to use the network but wants to minimize the visibility of the network as much as possible. Which of the following would BEST accomplish this?
Adjust the radio power so that coverage is restricted to the business
Configure the access point encryption from unsecured access to WEP
Enable MAC filtering and restrict access to other company
Change the SSID to reflect the business name instead of a public access point
Correct Incorrect Unanswered
Answer Description
Reducing the radio power to help keep wireless signals from traveling farther than necessary can help hide the network's existence. Keep in mind this isn't a security feature and that there are other steps that should be taken to secure the network that are outside the scope of the question.

In computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point (AP), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired connection to a router, but, in a wireless router, it can also be an integral component of the router itself. An AP is differentiated from a hotspot, which is a physical location where Wi-Fi access is available.
Although WAP has been used incorrectly to describe an Access Point, the clear definition is Wireless Application Protocol which describes a protocol rather than a physical device.
