Question

A city IT auditor finds a guest SSID on a library lobby AP still using WEP. What remediation should the municipal technician apply first?

Accepted Answer

Replace WEP with a modern WPA2 or WPA3 security suite per the design document. — WEP is a cracked antique, not a guest welcome mat. Treat the auditor finding like a broken lock on the lobby door: swap it for a modern WPA2 or WPA3 suite instead of stacking hide-SSID or MAC tricks on top of WEP.

Answer

Leave WEP enabled and hide the SSID so visitors cannot see the network name.

Answer

Add a MAC allow-list of library tablets and keep WEP for older scanners.

Answer

Enable Shared Key Authentication so the weak WEP keys rotate more often.
