The first thing a user should do when setting up a new wireless access point is to change the default password. Default passwords are well-known and pose a significant security risk. Changing this ensures that unauthorized individuals cannot easily gain access to the access point’s management interface.
A. Change the SSID to a unique name is important but not the first priority.
C. Enable WPA2 encryption is a key step for securing the network, but only after securing the device itself.
D. Enable the highest available wireless standard improves performance but should come after securing the access point.
