Description
This article describes the simple steps on how we configure 802.1X authentication protocol in WP810 and GWN76XX Access Point.
Steps
- Configure a Radius Server, you may follow this guide to install a FreeRadius server in a separate machine.
- At GWN76XX, create a SSID (the SSID is named as ‘CaptivePortal’ in this example), and select 802.1x as WPA Key Mode. Key in Radius Server Address, Radius Server Secret and Save the changes.

3. From WP8XX, scan to connect the SSID, enter Identity and Password to connect to the internet. Other fields can be left as default.

4. And voila, you are connected to Wifi Network with Radius Server!
