- Tue Dec 11, 2018 1:22 pm #79514 WPA2 Enterprise (PEAP) support has now been included into the project. It allows for a "converter" that translates a WPA2 enterprise network with PEAP authentication into a WPA2-PSK network. This solves a common problem especially in university environments: the local WiFi network is a WPA2 Enterprise network with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication. A very prominent example is the "eduroam"-network that is available at many universities around the world. The problem is, that many IoT devices cannot handle WPA2 Enterprise authentication. So development and demos are difficult. What is very helpful is a "converter" that logs into the WPA2 Enterprise network and offers a simpler WPA-PSK network to its clients.

To use it set the following config parameters: ssid, use_peap, peap_identity, peap_username, and peap_password (you don't need the usual password parameter). This configuration has to be done (and saved) via the CLI and is not available in the web interface.

My friend, I was reading your post and would like to know how to do this converter because I have a serious project and I can not connect to the network of my work. Thanks for listening.

There you configure:

Code: Select allset ap_ssid your_PSK_ssid
set ap_password your_PSK_password
set use_peap 1
set peap_identity your_id@yourorg.org
set peap_username your_PEAP_username
set peap_password your_PEAP_password
save
reboot

Thank you, Martin. I'll do it and give you feedback, I hope it works.
