The passphrase or network key generated by the WAP router needs to be installed on each client before it can be recognized on the network. This password phrase he should be kept secret, of course.

Megan’s laptop runs perfectly when she is at work, but when she takes it on the road, it cannot get on the internet. Internally, the company uses static IP addresses for all computers. What should you do to fix the problem?
A) tell Megan to get a wireless cellular card and service
B) tell Megan to use DHCP
C) tell Megan to configure the alternate configuration tab of tcpip properties
D) configure a static IP address in the alternate configuration tab of the user’s tcp/ip properties and enable dchp in the general tab

The issue is that Megan needs to obtain an IP address through dchp when on the road. But setting the network adapter to obtain an IP address automatically is not enough. To connect to the internal company network, the alternate configuration tab must be configured as a user configured static IP address. This solution enables Megan to connect to networks while on the road by obtaining IP addresses automatically and allows her to connect to the internal company network with the static IP address
