May 30, 2023 at 14:48 comment added FrameHowitzer If you want to use more complex authenticated access, 802.1x EAP is fine but requires more work and integration with user devices. If employees use wifi as their primary network access to company resources then you should use the more complex authentication option and still make sure that company resources are accessed via encrypted and authenticated methods (HTTPS with user login etc.).
May 30, 2023 at 14:46 comment added FrameHowitzer For a work/office environment where the wifi is for employee convenience (phones, tablets, laptops) and not their primary network connection (wired network to desktops), I would recommend the wifi be WPA2/WPA3 encrypted with a complex password. Make sure the wifi network has no access to any secure resources and have employees use it simply as internet access like at home. Access to company resources is via VPN only.

May 29, 2023 at 17:31 comment added FrameHowitzer My first suggestion is to describe the environment. A hotel with guest using wifi? A schoo? A home? A business office? Retail location? Who uses the wifi and are they employees, strangers, paying customers, free users? What do the users need to access? Sensitive medical data? Internet only? Business documents? Those factors determine the security posture and access users should be given.
