How to Configure WPA-802.1x and WPA2-802.1x

This version of WPA requires the use of a RADIUS server for authentication. Each user (wireless
client) must have a user login on the RADIUS server, and the modem router must have a client
login on the RADIUS server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key that is automatically
generated.
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default
user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and
password you have set up.
2. Select the wireless settings link in the main menu of the modem router.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select WPA-802.1x or WPA2-802.1x.
Note: The WPA-802.1x and WPA2-802.1x security options are available only if the
wireless network mode is set to g and b.
4. In the Radius Server Name/IP Address field, enter the name or IP address of the RADIUS
server on your LAN. This is a required field.
5. In the Radius Port field, enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server.
6. In the Radius Shared Key field, enter the value that you want to use for the RADIUS shared
key. This key enables the modem router to log in to the RADIUS server and must match the
client login value used on the RADIUS server.
