Extend WPA Enterprise

Does anyone know if there is any way I can connect my Time Capsule to my University wireless network?
I live right opposite my university and if I put my laptop on my window sill I can connect to the wireless, but can't connect from my desk... I was wanting to put my time capsule on my window sill, use that to connect to the Uni wireless and thus extend the connection into my room...
Does anyone know a way to achieve this? My Uni uses WPA Enterprise encryption...
Many thanks.
Andrew.

One possible option, with your existing equipment, would be to reconfigure your Mac as a "software" router by employing OS X's Internet Sharing feature. In this case you would be sharing the Mac's wireless Internet connection through its Ethernet port. Theoretically, you could then connect the TC to the Mac's Ethernet port; reconfigure the TC as a bridge, and then connect clients to the TC.
Personally I haven't tried this to verify that it would work. Mainly because using a Mac as a software router is extremely limited as far as features that this would provide.

  • Need help - wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode - iOS 6, iPhone 5, WPA Enterprise

    Hi, I have read a lot of discussions regarding wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode on iOS 6, mainly on iPhone 5.
    Here is my configuration and it just keeps disconnecting wifi connection once it goes to sleep mode
    iOS 6
    iPhone 5 white
    Purchased on Nov 3
    Work wifi config: WPA Enterprise
    I tried to manual add the wifi but it did not work. I tried all except for upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. I had a call to Apple Support and the guy told me I could not trust everything i read from here (well, how dare he is!!!). But I did all I could think of, and read from here.
    I am with ATT and I do not have a receiption at all at work. I have to turn it to airplane mode, and use the wifi connection. I put my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 side-by-side to compare. My iPhone with iOS 5.0 DOES NOT disconnect the wifi connection when it goes to sleep mode; but of course, we all know, iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0 does
    Any helps would be so much appreaticated. I am considering to return the phone to apple store, and cancel my 2 yrs extended contract with ATT. I might think to get another one once they have the issue fixed. It is no point to have an expensive paper-weight at work while I can't use the celluare nor wifi connection.
    Thanks again,

    Hi ChrisJ4203
    I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
    With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
    Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
    With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
    WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
    On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
    My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
    anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
    thanks,

  • Does WET200 support WPA-Enterprise/TKIP?

    I could not connect a WET200 (newly bought) to our WPA-enterprise/TKIP wireless network.
    Can anyone tell me what was wrong? Does WET200 support WPA-enterprise? Please help!
    Thanks a lot.

  • LaserJet CP1525nw & WPA-enterprise

    We bought a LaserJet CP1525nw printer because of its airprint support for printing from our iPads. Our wireless network uses WPA-enterprise security.
     We are unable to connect the printer to the wireless due to the enterprise authentication. ipad is unable to find the printer.
     We need  printing from the iPads, ePrint does not offer.  Any help would be much appreciated. Firmware 20110329.

    Hello,
    If you have not already, I might recommend going here and then looking at the link for iPad printing for ePrint/Airprint or ePrint Home and Biz.  Good Luck!

  • Remembering WPA Enterprise Network

    At my university, the wireless network is a WPA enterprise network. Each time I want to connect, I have to enter everything in manually. How do I get it to remember the network?

    Thank you both for your replies. I am trying iphitus ideia but am having trouble and the wiki doesn't have much info (not related to this issue at least).

    I don't think this information in the profile is enough, doesn't say which WPA protocol uses, nor the user (in the WPA Enterprise case) so I believe the problem might be related to that lack of info in the profile. The wiki didn't have an example for WPA enterprise though

  • WPA Enterprise won't authenticate

    I just upgraded my MacBook from Tiger to Leopard (latest upgrades installed). However now I can no longer access the wireless network at work. Each time I try the authentication fails. I should mention that when I had Tiger and connected it always gave me a warning about the certificate which I just clicked away and everything worked fine. With Leopard I don't get that warning, and don't get a connection. Nothing else has changed, and I can't remember the certificate message I got in Tiger.
    Any ideas?

    Don't know the answer to your question I'm afraid but what's the difference between WPA enterprise and WPA personal, and would I gain anything by using enterprise at home?

  • Wpa enterprise help

    I have a MacBook, that is running leopard. I am having trouble connecting to my schools wpa enterprise wireless. I am regestered to access the wireless, but am having trouble connecting. I think my problem is that i dont know how to tell the computer which domain on the wireless network. The connection i am trying to get has many domains.

    Ok, sorry for the super delayed response but I didn't have access to my laptop, then I was busy with midterms. I successfully connected manually with wpa_supplicant with this config file:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    eapol_version=1
    ap_scan=1
    fast_reauth=1

    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
    eap=PEAP
    identity="rofl"
    password="lolol"
    phase1="peaplabel=0"
    I then updated my uw-secure file so that it referenced the new wpa config file:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ cat uw-secure
    CONNECTION="wireless"
    DESCRIPTION="secure uw"
    INTERFACE="wlan0"
    IP="dhcp"
    SECURITY="wpa-config"
    SCAN="YES"
    WPA_CONF="/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf"
    I then tried to connect with netcfg, and I got this:
    [phil@pwned network.d]$ sudo netcfg uw-secure
    :: uw-secure up
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
    wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

    any help would be appreciated.

  • WPA Enterprise Connectivity

    Hi - I'm currently in Baton Rouge, LA and attend school at LSU. Our wireless network, lsusecure, is WPA Enterprise, which is supposed to be compatible with iPhone 2.0. The problem is, I can't seem to connect to the network. I enter my LSU username and password, which works for connecting on a computer, and it consistently says "connecting to lsusecure" but nothing ever happens. I was just wondering if I will have to enter in more information about the network rather than just using my regular login information. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it, as Tech Services at LSU currently has no information on how to connect.

    Guidedbyvoip, sorry your IT Dept is no help.
    But, here at LSU, we are here to help! Hope these directions can work for you as well, instead of needing a 3rd party config util!
    ccastl1, please follow the following directions to configure your iPhone to connect to our LSUSECURE wireless network.
    Note: The device must be updated to firmware 2.0 in order to connect to lsusecure
    1. Select "Settings"
    2. Select "Wi-Fi"
    3. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. If the device is connected to any other network other than lsusecure (it will usually connect to lsuwireless first) you must remove that network before connecting to lsusecure.
    4. Select the network it is connected to by pressing on the blue arrow to the right of the name.
    5. Select "Forget this Network"
    6. Choose "Forget Network"
    7. Select lsusecure
    8. Enter your PAWS Username & Password and press "Join" at the bottom right of the keyboard.
    9. Accept the certificate by pressing "Accept"
    You are now connected to lsusecure!
    Please contact us directly if you have any further questions or problems!
    Thanks!

  • Cannot switch between WPA2 and WPA Enterprise WiFi locations.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have two Wifi locations I use, a WPA2 and a WPA Enterprise. When I switch locations from one to the other it looks as if that the Airport express resets but does not let go of the active location. I have to manually turn airport off and then on again to have it kick in. Anyone experience this and have a work around?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Connecting MBA to domain using WPA Enterprise

    Hi guys!
    I'm having "the usual" new MBA WiFi-problems, meaning my MBA keeps dropping the WiFi connection occasionally, but that's going on in another thread.
    I don't know whether this is a related problem, but I can't seem to connect the MBA to the WiFi network at the office at all. The network connection dialog tells me my connection needs WPA Enterprise credentials, but no matter what I write, I won't get connected.
    So I'll start with the basics. This works for every other device I have (PC laptop, iPhone, iPads and so on):
    Username: \\MyDomain\MyUserName
    Password: MyPassword
    But not for the MBA. For the domain/username, I've tried single \´s and /´s and just about any combination just in case this is a "Mac syntax thing" (this is my first Mac laptop), with and without the MyDomain part, lowercase, uppercase, quotation marks around the password (as I saw mentioned in some thread in the case of alphanumeric WEP, or some such), but nothing works. I don't remember the exact error message, but it has to do with the authentication server perhaps not being available.
    Apparently others have had problems with the WPA Enterprise connections as well, but could somebody just confirm that the \\MyDomain\MyUsename -syntax I'm using is indeed correct.
    Cheers,
    Kim

    Marc,
    I'm suprised that WPA works over WDS. I had thought that because WPA cycles the encryption key with each message transmission that the two Airport devices would quickly get out of sync.
    But I do respect Alan's opinion, so I'd give in to his statement that it does work, I'll be searching through the update readme's to see when it started working.
    You could always drop back to WEP encryption. Unless you have the FBI next door listening in and analysing all your network traffic, it's not going to be broken.
    WPA changes the encryption key with each wireless message, WEP doesn't. So in theory, with WEP, someone could analyse all your network traffic, looking for patterns. You can work out just how hard that is.
    If you choose an obvious password (like from a dictionary) it won't matter if you're on WPA instead of WEP, the Feds / hackers will be in in a short time.

  • 10.4.2 and WPA Enterprise NOT working

    Dears,
    I have 2 machines configured in this way:
    - 10.3.9 with Airport card (no Extreme) and latest Airport drivers;
    - 10.4.2 with Airport Extreme card and latest Airport drivers;
    I try to connect to our WPA Enterprise wireless network and i got 2 different results:
    - 10.3.9 connects and works;
    - 10.4.2 returns an error, the logs show the following:
    2005-08-18 13:23:17.601 SystemUIServer[380] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus failed for "en1" (err = 6)
    There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    Before upgrading to 10.4.2 the same machine with 10.4.1 was able to connect to WPA Enterprise.
    I further investigated on this, seems that under 10.4.2 the folder /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/EAPOLController.bundle is empty, while under 10.4.1 it contained some files (oh yes, I have the disk image of the workstation when it had 10.4.1).
    Maybe the guru guys from Apple can see if the 10.4.2 updater deleted those files in error.. bye !

    Hi Rick,
    I did the following:
    - Re-install 10.4.2 upgrade;
    - Re-install Airport 4.2 upgrade;
    - Repair permissions;
    - Check Keychain.
    I still got those errors in the logs:
    2005-08-19 16:01:07.966 Internet Connect[280] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus failed for "en1" (err = 6)
    There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    2005-08-19 16:01:07.971 Internet Connect[280] EAPOLControlCopyStateAndStatus err = 6
    com.apple.network.EAPOLController not active
    Using Internet Connect I can see our wireless network, that is correctly identified as being encrypted with "WPA Enterprise" but after I entered user/password I got the following error:
    "WPA Authentication failed. There was an error trying to get authentication status: 6"
    I double checked username/password, mac address, base station configuration (Cisco AP-1131) and Radius server, are all ok (the other mac, with 10.3.9 joins our WPA network succesfully).
    I'm stuck here..

  • Why does the WPA Enterprise Wifi Network not get displayed?

    I wanted to connect to the wifi of my university via eduroam and was not able to even get the eduroam network displayed in the list of Wifi networks. I'm sure that it was there, because I tried it on several spots and my laptop was always able to find it and connect to it. Could it be that WPA Enterprise is not supported? It's quite standard already, isn't it?
    There would be a second option to connect to an open network and add a VPN tunnel, but I could not find any vpn-Application for Firefox OS.
    Did I oversee something or is there really no possibility to access any of my university networks?
    I am using an Alcatel One Touch Fire (German language set) with current Firefox OS 1.1.0.0-prerelease

    It seems to me that WPA Enterprise is not currently enabled in Firefox OS.
    There are several bugs regarding this feature, among others: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790056
    Regarding VPN, there is a recent thread, which also indicates that this feature is not currently supported. See the discussion here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967948
    It also lists the bug-id related to this features.

  • WPA Enterprise Question - Convince My School to Accept Macs on Wi-Fi!

    It's been a whole year since I've been able to use my MBP on my school's wifi. Currently, they are using WPA2 Personal (which I think gives you a good definition of the idiots I'm dealing with).
    I've just heard about WPA Enterprise and what is allows - which is great! But one question just to convince them:
    I understand every user has their own username/password for WPA Enterprise; so what security precautions can be taken in order to prevent students from sharing their username/password to those unauthorized?
    If someone can answer this question - I think I'll finally be able to convine my school's IT department to allow me (and so many others) on the network. Thanks!

    It's not trivial if you aren't already familiar with the various components of public-key infrastructures and implementing them.
    Here's the Wikipedia article on the subject: [Extensible Authentication Protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleAuthenticationProtocol]
    There's lots of information out on the net about different methods of implementing WPA2 enterprise. It takes some planning, but the gist is that you can configure an environment where you issue certificates to machines to connect to the wireless LAN, and revoke them, if necessary. A unique certificate is provided to each machine and/or user.

  • WPA Enterprise Encryption, 802.1x

    Is anyone else disappointed that the iPhone doesn't support WPA Enterprise or 802.1x encryption? At my job we use it for encrypting our wireless traffic, so my iPhone is without wifi all day! Oh sadness. Maybe in a future software update. Anyone official at Apple care to respond? Its been in OSX since 10.3! I thought this thing was running OSX?! Maybe they forgot to upgrade before they pushed out the iPhone build to these sweet little puppies.

  • WPA enterprise on N9

    Hello,
    when I try to connect to my university network (WPA enterprise) with my N9, it asks me for a password for their certificate.
    It uses WPA2, TTLS PAP and a certificate. I installed the certificate chain and can view them in Settings -> Security -> Certificates.
    Do you have any idea what the password for the certificate is? My university says that there should not be any.
    I tried to select the certificate in Settings -> Security -> Certificates and to click on the bottom right button and then "Change password" but it just gives me "Keine" (none) in a small box at the top.
    Thanks in advance
    Ole
    PS: I just saw there is a Meego section, too, sorry.

    If the WiFi setup doesn't require a user certificate, you should select "None" for a certificate when defining the connection. The CA certificate(s) you installed earlier are used automatically as long as they are enabled for WiFi usage.
    Here are the settings for the network for a Nokia N82. Maybe, this will help shed some light on the issue. FYI - I could not make these settings work for my Nokia N8 as well. The IT help desk says they are unable to solve the issue.
    juhanima wrote:
    The connection dialog is supposed to show only actual user certificates to choose from, but it is a known bug in the current N9 FW that if you install something that is not a CA certificate it is taken for a user certificate by default and shown as an option in the connection dialog. The bug will be fixed in the next FW update I believe.
    I have only installed one CA certificate (the one which can be found at the link I provided above). It does not ask for any password when I install it.  When I go to Certificate Manager and try to change the password it informs that there is no password for the certificate.

    On the other hand, if the connection does require a user certificate you should have received one from the network's administrator in a PKCS#12 package with a password. You need the password when installing the package and later when using the private key related to the user certificate. But it sounds like this is not the case, so just select "None".
    Hope this helps.

    So I did choose "None" as certificate. EAP Type - PEAP and EAP MSCHAPv2 as the EAP method. I could not connect to the network using these settings.  The certificate was installed at this point. If I try connecting using the certifcate it asks me for the password. So, right now, it is a problem connecting to the network. Would appreciate any help in this regard.
