Configuring Wpa-802.1X - NETGEAR DGN3500 User Manual

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

Configuring WPA-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.
Select Wireless Settings in the main menu.
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select WPA-802.1x.
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.
The default port is 1812.
6. In the Shared Key field, enter the value that you want to use for the RADIUS shared key.
This key enables the wireless modem router to log in to the RADIUS server and must match
the client login value used on the Radius server.
