• A migration ticket for an autonomous community-center AP requires removing legacy encryption. Which action meets the ticket?
• A transit-yard manager asks why MAC filtering alone cannot stop a cloned tablet address on the yard Wi-Fi. What is the best explanation?
• A SOHO router in a municipal field office still shows WPA-Personal (original WPA1). What should the technician do?
• During a clinic AP review, a mixed mode still advertises a TKIP-only cipher suite. What should the technician conclude?
• A security questionnaire asks why the city must retire TKIP and original WPA-Personal. Which rationale is correct?
• A recreation-center AP is set to "WPA/WPA2 mixed," which keeps TKIP options alive. What should the technician recommend?
• Vendor defaults on a new branch-library AP still allow WPA-PSK with TKIP. How should the technician harden the config?
• A PCI-minded questionnaire for city payments Wi-Fi asks whether TKIP is an acceptable cipher. What is the correct answer?
• A clerk confuses WPA-Personal with WPA2-Personal on a permit-office router. What clarification should the technician give?
• After a firmware update on a city yard AP removes TKIP, what validation should the technician perform?
• A two-person municipal field office needs Personal-mode Wi-Fi on a capable SOHO AP. Which configuration fits?
• Staff SSID design for city hall requires per-user identity rather than a shared PSK. Which AP security mode should the technician select?
• New APs in a small permitting office support WPA3-Personal and all laptops are WPA3-capable. What should the technician prefer?
• An enterprise municipal campus is moving staff WLAN beyond WPA2-Enterprise. Which modern secure mode should the technician recognize as the target?
• A design note for clinic APs says to prefer the modern integrity/encryption pairing over TKIP. Which suite should the technician configure?
• A training slide asks which WPA3-Personal mechanism replaces weaker aspects of the WPA2-PSK handshake. What is the answer?
• Staff WLAN at the courthouse must use Enterprise security. Which framework provides that authentication on the WLAN?
• The city wants encrypted open Wi-Fi in a public plaza without handing out a shared PSK. Which technology fits?
• While configuring a community-pool AP, the GUI offers TKIP or AES. Which selection is correct?
• A records office enables WPA3-Personal on the AP, but staff laptops still show WPA2-Personal profiles. What must the technician ensure?
• A county IT desk still has many staff laptops that only support WPA2-Enterprise, while a few new devices already offer WPA3. Leadership wants a modern secure SSID for city hall without jumping straight to WEP or WPA1-era settings. Which choice best matches technician guidance during the transition?
• A city’s public downtown Wi-Fi team wants guests to connect without a shared passphrase, but they refuse to leave the lobby SSID as plaintext open air. Which modern secure technology should the technician prefer when the platform supports it?
• A municipal design document calls for staff WLAN authentication through 802.1X/EAP. When the technician configures the city hall SSID on the AP, which setting correctly reflects Enterprise mode awareness at CWTS depth?
• A parks department small office asks how WPA3-Personal differs from WPA2-Personal when both use a passphrase. Which contrast should the technician highlight?
• While validating a library branch AP after cutover, a technician reviews the negotiated cipher suite on a modern secure SSID. Which result best confirms a modern encryption path?
• A tiny municipal annex runs SOHO-style Wi-Fi for three clerks. Which SOHO hardening set best matches technician best practice?
• A public library WLAN must greet visitors with acceptable-use language and keep patron devices from chatting directly with each other on the guest air. Which pair of controls fits that public-use pattern?
• City hall visitors need internet access without reaching finance file shares. Which guest-network design choice should the technician implement from the design doc?
• A civic center lobby SSID will serve the general public. Which public-use practice should the technician follow?
• A parks department wants park Wi-Fi users to accept terms of use before browsing. Which feature implements that click-through gate?
• A SOHO-style clinic inside a city health annex still has WPS-style push-button or PIN onboarding enabled on the AP. What should the technician do as part of SOHO hardening?
• A community center guest SSID must keep tablet users from attacking each other over Wi-Fi while still allowing internet. Which setting pairs correctly with that guest SSID?
• Public festival planners ask how to keep the guest SSID from becoming a management back door into city APs. Which public-use practice should the technician apply?
• A weekend civic festival needs temporary Wi-Fi with terms acceptance before access. The design document lists a captive portal SSID. What should the technician configure?
• Compare a three-person municipal field office with a public lobby SSID. Which statement correctly contrasts SOHO Personal use versus public access practice?
