Re: "Guest mode" in WiFi RADIUS?

Hi
You can automate the process by configuring the router as member of RADIUS
server, and using GPO to deploy Wireless settings to domain clients.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.

Hi,

Right now we have a bunch of spread out and independent Linksys wireless
access points that we're considering pointing to a central Windows Server
2003 RADIUS (or RRAS) server. One main goal we're trying to accomplish
apart
from the centralization of security settings is the ability to quickly
allow
a guest to connect to our wireless network with his laptop WITHOUT having
to
enter much more than our SSID. Right now we're using TKIP-PSK WPA security
and in order for us to allow a sales rep to connect his/her laptop to our
network we have to enter in our network key, usually with them standing
right
over us. We're not entirely comfortable with that, and going into their
wireless network settings and adding our SSID w/ network key is a pain,
but I
don't see any other way around it. That is unless there's a cool wireless
USB
device that will allow us to hardcode our SSID and other credentials to
the
device so that all we do is attach it to a laptop, install the drivers,
and
let it rip. I'm not sure that switching to RADIUS will make our lives
easier
in the "guest visitor" scenario, but we just need to make sure that
devices
not part of our Active Directory domain can authenticate using a guest
password (without having the user logout of their session and signing on
as a
Guest).
