How to Configure WPE-802.1x or WPE2-802.1x

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 wireless 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 wireless 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. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the wireless modem router.

3. In the Security Options portion of the page, select WPE-802.1x or WPE2-802.1x.

4. In the Radius Server Name/IP Address text box, 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 desired value for the Radius shared key. This key

enables the wireless modem router to log in to the Radius server and must match the “client”

Note: When configuring the wireless modem router from a wireless computer, if you

configure WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click

Apply. You must then either configure your wireless adapter to match the wireless

modem router WEP settings or access the wireless modem router from a wired

computer to make any further changes.

Note: The WPE-802.1x and WPE2-802.1x security options are only available if the

wireless network mode is set to “g and b”.
