ORBI Support for WPA2 Enterprise?

[BeeKayPea]

Does anyone know if the ORBI really supports WPA2 Enterprise?

This KB entry says that it is supported:  http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31215/~/what-are-the-security-features-on-my-orbi-wifi...

But I cannot find it in the GUI interface anywhere.

nope only supports

WPA2-PSK [AES]

WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] prob will be added later at this point in time

Thanks for the reply.  At least I know I am just not missing the setting somewhere.

I can certainly live with WPA2-PSK but like the added security of WPA2 Enterprise should it ever get added to the firmware.

I saw the same thing and was irritated. I have tried to get around it using Mac based authentication from the switch side but I'm seeing issues there with the clients authenticating every second. I'm thinking the Orbis is tweaking the packet somehow.

They really need to add this. It's not difficult and considering thier docs say it has it.....

Based on the release notes it does appear that they're adding features regularly so hopefully this is on the road map.

For now its probably sufficient to use a random shared key of very long length.

I agree problem I have is I need vLAN support. Which I need radius for. Trying to use MAC Auth now but having authentication packet floods that then kills internet.

Quicker the better for me.
