Tip If you want to change the WiFi settings of the router's main network, use a wired connection
to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect.
To configure WPA and WPA2 enterprise security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in.
The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The Dashboard displays.
4. Depending on the WiFi network that you are configuring, do one of the following:
• If you are configuring the main WiFi network, select Settings > Setup > Wireless Setup.
The Wireless Settings page displays.
• If you are configuring the guest WiFi network, select Settings > Setup > Guest Network.
The Guest Network page displays.
5. In the Security Options section for either the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band, select the WPA/WPA2
Enterprise radio button.
The page adjusts.
6. In the WPA/WPA2 Enterprise section, specify the following settings:
• From the WPA Mode menu, select the enterprise WPA mode:
- WPA2 [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure connection but some older mobile devices do not detect
WPA2 and support only WPA. If your network includes such older devices, select WPA [TKIP]
+ WPA2 [AES] security.
- WPA [TKIP] +WPA2 [AES]. This type of security enables mobile devices that support either
WPA or WPA2 to join the router's WiFi network. This is the default mode.
• RADIUS server IP Address. Enter the IPv4 address of the RADIUS server to which the WiFi network
can connect.
• RADIUS server Port. Enter the number of the port on the router that is used to access the RADIUS
server for authentication. The default port number is 1812.
• RADIUS server Shared Secret. Enter the shared secret (RADIUS password) that is used between
the router and the RADIUS server during authentication of a WiFi user.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8. Make sure that you can reconnect over WiFi to the network with its new security settings.
If you cannot connect over WiFi, check the following:
