Q: Which wireless security technique lets you set up access points such that they only accept connections from certain physical addresses that belong to devices you know you can trust?

  • 5Ghz Channel
  • Media Access Control (MAC) filtering
  • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
  • WiFi Protected Access (WPA)

Explanation: To filter MAC addresses, an access point must first be configured with a list of MAC addresses (unique hardware addresses) that are either permitted or prohibited. It is only possible for devices to connect to the network if their MAC addresses are included in the list of permitted devices. However, it is important to note that while MAC filtering might offer an additional degree of protection, it is not completely perfect since it is possible to misrepresent MAC addresses.
