Luke is setting up a wireless network at home and is adding several devices to the network. During the setup of his printer, which uses 802.11g standard, he finds that he can't connect to the network. While troubleshooting the problem, he discovers that his printer is not compatible with the current wireless security protocol because it is an older version of hardware.

What wireless network security protocol can Luke implement on the WAP so that the printer can connect to his wireless network?

Answer:

WPA2

Step-by-step explanation:

The best wireless network security protocol for Luke would be WPA2. This is the latest security protocol version which brings with it extra encryption for a more secure connection. Aside from this WPA2 is backwards compatible with devices made for WPA. Therefore, it makes WPA2 the best solution for connecting the printer wirelessly to the network since it allows for 802.11g standard connection, the same as the printer.
