When setting up a home wireless network, which of the following is a best practice to enhance its security?
Leaving the network unencrypted
Changing the default password
Using the router's default network name (SSID)
Lowering the transmission power of the wireless router
Changing the default password is a correct answer because it prevents unauthorized access to the network. Default passwords are often well-known or easily discoverable, making networks with default passwords vulnerable to attacks. Encrypting the network and changing the SSID are also important, but they were not options provided. Lowering the transmission power would decrease the wireless range but wouldn't necessarily enhance security.
