B. Port forwarding
C. Disable SSID broadcasting
D. MAC filtering

Answer 1

Answer: D) MAC filtering

Step-by-step explanation:

MAC(Media access layer) filtering is the technique that maintains the authorized assess control of devices over the network.This helps to maintain the security of Wi-fi network.

• Only the permitted device can be present in the Wi-fi list and other non-authorized devices gets denied from getting connected.
• According to the question, Jacob should use MAC filtering for providing extra security to Wi-Fi so that non-permitted devices do not connect with the network.
• Other options are incorrect because port forwarding is mapping of ports. WPS(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is used for rapid connection between router and wireless devices. SSID broadcasting disabling helps securing network along with router.
• Thus, the correct option is option(D).
