WPA-EAP in Flint 3

Routers
1

I am trying to set up WPA-EAP (Enterprise) authentication using an existing RADIUS server on my Flint 3 router.

Given the Flint 3's default GUI does not support this feature, I am configuring it directly through the underlying OpenWrt LuCI interface.

Here's what I've tried:

  1. WPA3-EAP: The configuration reverts to default authentication settings immediately after saving in LuCI.

  2. WPA-EAP: The settings save correctly, but the new Wi-Fi interface remains disabled/inactive. Even after editing the `/etc/config/wireless` file via SSH to explicitly set `option disabled '0'`, the interface will not activate.

Questions:

  1. Is WPA-EAP/RADIUS configuration truly functional and supported on the Flint 3, even when configured through LuCI and not the GL.iNet GUI?

  2. Does GL.iNet officially support this advanced use case, given it bypasses their custom firmware interface?

  3. If WPA-EAP is not directly supported, are there any known workarounds or modifications I can apply to make it work?

Hello. Is it possible to set up authentication via the RADIUS server on WiFi? If not, is there any plan to support this in the future?

Hi

Please SSH into the router and use the commands below to configure.
Note to modify the RADIUS-related information.
