So I know that A would be the best way to make the network secure, but D is the more reasonable ask wouldn't it be? In these questions should we assume that the people we are dealing with have a good understanding of technology? Like I wouldn't try to explain Mac Filtering to my grandparents, but I probably could guide them through changing a password.

From my network engineer buddy “ Personally, I could get into a network with “strong encryption” much faster than Mac filtering, secure=easy”. Yes you can spoof a MAC address but it’s still not easy”. Security and easy do not go hand and hand. “ So like, Imagine having two state of the art locks vs the biggest guy you’ve ever seen with a list of names.. which one do you think is easier to get into?”

Why not "Upgrade the encryption standards" and set a password?
