for 802.1X Wireless Network
When a wireless client requests to access a network, it is required to be authenticated by a central
authentication server (RADIUS Server). Only an authenticated user can be granted by the network access and
thereby those unauthorized will be blocked.
Wireless Security:
Choose 802.1x as the authentication protocol, your data transmission between the router and the
clients will be protected with the settings that you set in this web page.
RADIUS Server IP Address:
RADIUS Server is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information
between a Network Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication
Server. Please enter the IP Address for the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS UDP Port:
Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS- authentication port described in RFC 2138. Earlier AP (RADIUS
clients) use port 1945. The default value will be shown on this box. You can keep and use it.
RADIUS Shared Secret:
A shared secret is like a password, which is used between RADIUS Server and the specific AP
(RADIUS client) to verify identity. Both RADIUS Server and the AP (RADIUS client) must use the same
shared secret for successful communication. Enter the words for the share secret.
After finishing the settings, click Apply for activation.
