Use supported Wi-Fi security

Editorial update: 21 September 2026. Introductory learning material.

Use WPA3 where supported, or appropriately configured WPA2 with AES when required for supported devices. Do not use WEP, original WPA or TKIP as a security fallback.

Keep network equipment supported and updated. Separate guest and untrusted-device access from sensitive business systems, and confirm the separation works.

Activity: Ask the network administrator to document the active security mode, approved devices and guest-access boundary. Plan replacement of equipment that cannot support appropriate protection.

Reference: FTC guidance on protecting wireless networks. Check the source and your system provider’s current instructions before implementation.
