A user is configuring a wireless access point and wants to prevent any neighbors from discovering the network. What action does the user need to take?

  • Enable WPA encryption.
  • Configure a DNS server.
  • Configure DMZ settings.
  • Disable SSID broadcast.

Explanation: Disabling SSID broadcast prevents the access point from announcing the name of the network. Enabling WPA encryption, configuring DMZ settings, and configuring a DNS server will accomplish different tasks, but the name of the network will still be announced.
