I’ve just taken delivery of an MT1300, which I’m trying to add to a network of Slate APs.
The good news is that it seems to enable MUCH faster wifi than the Slates - in my case, ~200 Mbps (with gigabit ethernet and a 315 Mbps WAN), vs. ~100 Mbps using a Slate as an AP.
However - the Slate APs all use WPA Enterprise, in order to have a single Radius server doing auth. I can’t seem to configure the MT1300 to use a Radius server. It doesn’t appear in the GL.Inet admin panel, or in the Openwrt Wireless settings. I’ve tried adding ‘auth_server’ and ‘auth_secret’ to /etc/config/wireless, but without success.
I tried upgrading from 3.203 to beta 3.211 (2021-12-14). No difference.
So - can an MT1300 access a Radius server for wifi auth? If so, where and how should iit be configured?
Thanks Limbot. I’m sure we would all appreciate more of an explanation; can you tell us more?
I understand that GL.inet’s Admin Panel can’t add a Radius server. But the wifi SOC supports EAP, as does Openwrt.
MT1300 uses the Mediatek MT7615 wifi chipset, whereas Slate (and other Gl.inet products?) use Qualcom wifi SOCs. So obviously a different driver for the chipset. But apart from that surely all the wifi up/down/config stuff consists of uci calls made by standard Openwrt.
If the EAP calls to the chipset are missing from the current version of the driver I guess that would explain it. If that’s not the case, could a competent developer familiar with uci expect to be able to enable Openwrt’s Radius code?
Thanks in advance for any more detail you are able to add.
