Before choosing the EAP protocol for your WPA/WPA2-Enterpise settings on the client end, please contact the
network administrator to make sure the system supports the protocol on the AP end. Detailed information on
these three popular EAP protocols is presented in the following sections.
EAP-TLS
TLS is the standards-based successor to Secure Socket Layer (SSL). It can establish a trusted communication
channel over a distrusted network. TLS provides mutual authentication through certificate exchange. EAP-TLS
is also secure to use. You are required to submit a digital certificate to the authentication server for validation,
but the authentication server must also supply a certificate.
You can use Basic WLAN Setup → WLAN Certificate Settings to import your WLAN certificate and enable
EAP-TLS on the client end.
