Wireless Password
802.1X
802.1X is an enterprise authentication method that allows you to use an external RADIUS
server for wireless authentication using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). This
setting is sometimes known as WPA-Enterprise. EE is unable to offer 802.1X authentication,
so you must provide your own RADIUS server for this option to work.
You can configure the router for 802.1X authentication over RADIUS by access the 802.1x
page in the advanced router admin pages:
1. Login to the router's admin pages.
2. Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the 'Please proceed with
caution' page.
3. Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.
4. Click 802.1x in the left hand navigation menu:
server. EE Broadband does not provide support for
this option. 802.1X server settings must be
configured in the Advanced Set-Up > 802.1X
page if you select this option.
