What is the first security setting that should be applied when connecting a wireless router in a small network?

• Change the default administrative username and password.
• Enable encryption on the wireless router.
• Disable the wireless network SSID broadcast beacon.
• Enable MAC address filtering on the wireless router.

Explanation: The first action that should be taken is to secure administrative access to the wireless router. The next action would usually be to configure encryption. Then after the initial group of wireless hosts have connected to the network, MAC address filtering would be enabled and SSID broadcast disabled. This will prevent new unauthorized hosts from finding and connecting to the wireless network.
