Is no WPA2 Enterprise on Beryl AX a hardware limitation?

The Beryl AX does not support connecting to WPA2 Enterprise networks according to the wiki. Is this a hardware limitation or can this be done through CLI and messing with luci?

Basically love everything about the Beryl AX, really the only problem I have is that I can’t hook it up to WPA2 Enterprise networks, that’s sadly quite a big deal when I have to work from shared offices. But the Slate AX is chunkier and heavier :frowning:

(A workaround currently is to use an Android phone to share the WPA2 Enterprise connection to the Beryl, but that isn’t great)

There is a 4.6 beta that should support connecting EAP

Whoa really? Let me give that a go

Where can I find 4.6? The latest beta in the download center is still 4.5

Click the link in my post above.

Finally had time to try this firmware and it works perfectly! Will this come to the next 4.6 release or will this stay as a separate thing?

Either way, I am very happy with this, it means I don’t need to buy a Slate just for EAP :heart:

Nees more test to decide. But we prefer to just keep one driver

I hadn’t noticed that my Beryl AX doesn’t support EAP and was surprised it couldn’t connect to a certain network.

Just installed the 4.6 version that alzhao provided and now it does have EAP support and I can connect to the network. Happy customer! :slight_smile: Thanks!

Hopefully this feature will soon be available in the official 4.6 firmware release!

Any update if eap will become mainline for beryl ax?

10

Do we know if this eap driver version made it to 4.6.3 or is still separate?

11

You still need to use the op24 firmware for EAP.

12

Thanks, do you know if the plan is still to merge or leave eap out?

13

Have to use op24 firmware for EAP. Cannot merge to default firmware.

15

Last question, will there be an upgrade for op24 firmware so it has parity with 4.6.2 new features

16

Yes of course. All the firmware will update.

17

i see that current official firmware is 4.6.2, does this one include EAP support from the v4.6 that you linked above?

18

No. Pls use the op24 firmware.

thank you it's working great so far to connect to EAP networks, but EAP+VPN is not working so good right now, do you mind checking my post here? VPN connection failing where Windows-based VPN client is successful
