Configure the hotspot with a RADIUSshared password
RADIUSshared password authentication requires each user to enter a password. This password is
validated by an external RADIUS server, and the password is the same for all users.
Create a user on the RADIUS server with the username guest. The password assigned at the RADIUS
server for the user guest is the shared password that your hotspot users should enter to authenticate
to the hotspot via the RADIUS server.
By default, the router redirects unauthenticated users to the HTML authentication page located on
the router at /hotspot/password.html. You can customize the authentication page as needed, or
host an authentication page on a remote server. See Customize the hotspot login page for further
information.
Required configuration items
n Enable the hotspot with RADIUS shared password authentication.
n IP address or fully qualified domain name of the RADIUS server.
n A user on the RADIUSserver with the username guest.
n RADIUS server secret.
n RADIUSNASID.
n Domain name or subnet of the RADIUS server included in the "white list" of servers that
unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
n LAN to serve as the hotspot LAN. See Hotspot LANconfiguration for important information
about selecting a LANfor the hotspot.
n IP Address and subnet mask for the hotspot.
n Interfaces for the hotspot LAN(Wifi and/or Ethernet).
Additional configuration items
n DHCP server lease timeout.
n Bandwidth limits.
n IP address or fully qualified domain name of the backup RADIUS server to be used if the
primary RADIUSserver is unreachable.
n Modify the local HTML authentication page, /hotspot/password.html, or identify a remote web
server to host the HTML authentication page and include that server in the "white list" of
servers that unauthenticated hotspot clients can access.
Hotspot LANconfiguration
Once you have selected a LANfor a hotspot, you have limited configuration capabilities for that LAN.
Most of its configuration (for example, its IP address and DHCP server) is set automatically by the
hotspot, and the LANis dedicated for use only by the hotspot. For this reason, you should select a
LANfor the hotspot that has not already been configured for use outside of hotspot functionality.
