Before choosing the EAP protocol for your WPA/WPA2-Enterpise settings on the client end,
please contact the network administrator to make sure the system supports the protocol on the AP
end. Detailed information on these three popular EAP protocols is presented in the following
sections:
EAP-TLS
TLS is the standards-based successor to the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It can establish a trusted
communication channel over a distrusted network. TLS provides mutual authentication through
certificate exchange. EAP-TLS is also secure to use. You are required to submit a digital certificate
to the authentication server for validation, but the authentication server must also supply a
certificate.
You can use
WLAN 1/2
Æ
WLAN Certificate Settings
to import your WLAN certificate and
