How to Configure WPA with Radius
Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the
client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that
supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.
Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions
on configuring WPA settings.
To configure WPA, follow these steps:
1. Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.228 with the default user name of
admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you
have set up.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure WEP settings, you will be
disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the
new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired computer to make any
further changes.
