Configure a WiFi network that is secured with
WPA2 or WAP3 enterprise security
When you performed the initial configuration on the Day Zero page, you were required
to change the name and WiFi passphrase of the main (first) WiFi network (SSID) for WiFi
clients. (By default, this SSID is configured for WPA2 personal security.)
The access point supports up to four SSIDs that can broadcast on either a single or both
radios. (These four SSIDs are in addition to the 2.4 GHz management SSID.) By default,
the access point’s first SSID is enabled and the second, third, and fourth SSIDs are
disabled. You can enable or disable an SSID, change the settings and WiFi security for
an SSID, and perform other configuration tasks.
WPA2 or WPA3 enterprise-level security (or a combination thereof) uses RADIUS for
centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management. The
following procedure includes the steps to configure a RADIUS server.
The type of WPA enterprise security (WPA2, WPA3, or a combination of both) that you
select must depend on the types of devices in your WiFi network and the level of security
that your environment requires. All types of WPA enterprise security function with a
shared key (a WiFi password) that is also defined on the RADIUS server. A WiFi client
can only access the WiFi network with the correct shared key.
To change the settings for an active SSID or enable and configure an SSID that is
secured with WPA2 or WAP3 enterprise security:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is directly connected
over WiFi to the access point or connected to the same network as the access point.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
If you are directly connected to the “CONFIG-ONLY” SSID, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login window displays.
