When a technician is unable to connect to a laptop over a VPN, one of the most common reasons is that the firewall settings on either the laptop or the network are blocking the connection.

Wireless protocol: Unrelated, as the technician is already connected to the VPN.

DHCP pool: Unlikely to be the issue, as it deals with IP address assignment.

Content filtering: Typically involves filtering web content, not affecting direct connections.

Firewall: The correct setting to review, as it may block the necessary ports or services required for remote access.

The first step in securing a newly installed SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) wireless router is to ensure it has the latest firmware installed. Firmware updates often include important security patches and new features that protect the router from known vulnerabilities. Other actions, like disabling unused ports or guest accounts, can be useful for hardening the security, but they should come after the router is running the most recent and secure version of its firmware.

Disabling guest accounts on domain-joined machines is done through Group Policy. Group Policy allows centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users' settings in an Active Directory environment. By using the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), administrators can enforce policies such as disabling the guest account across all machines within the domain. The other options (Firewall, Microsoft Management Console, MSConfig) do not provide functionality specific to managing user accounts in this context.
