Selected Answer: B
B. Enable encryption on the wireless network. Enabling encryption, specifically WPA3 or at least WPA2, on the wireless network is a crucial step in securing the communications between devices and the router. This encrypts the data transmitted over the Wi-Fi network, making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to eavesdrop on and intercept the wireless communications. Encryption ensures that even if someone intercepts the wireless signals, they cannot easily decipher the information without the encryption key.
