Connecting myRIO to WiFi with WPA2 Enterprise EAP-TTLS

[bjornsol]

Hey guys,

I´m struggling to connect my myRIO to the eduroam wifi on campus. It worked for a time, but now it suddenly just doesn´t.

The network runs a EAP-TTLS (or PEAP) Authentification, MSCHAPv2 as an inner authentification and a GT UserTrust Global Root certificate. When I first got it working I just set it up in MAX and uploaded the certificate, when that now stopped working I´ve tried just about everything including editing the wpa_supplicant locally on the myRIO. 

To put it short I´m stumped at this, and the fact that it worked for a while doesn´t help O.o

Cheers,

 Bjørn

Hey you!

Maybe set a static IP-adress in the settings of the myRIO in MAX.

I had the same problem with the CampactRIO on my university.

But you must talk to your network admin, to get a valid adress.

Thanks for the reply!

That might work, but I doubt the system is set up to accept static IP. And since it worked for a while there has to be an easier solution to the problem 😉

I´ll try the fix with a static IP tomorrow but I´m hoping wiser users than me can come up with a more elegant solution 🙂

Looks like the static IP solution is a no-go with the network admins at campus, so I'm very open for other solutions.

Hi bjornsol,

I managed to connect a wireless cDAQ to eduroam by

1. Uploading the certificate in MAX 
2. Entering the user name and network secret for PEAP, IP adress set to "DHCP or Link Local"

I can also confirm successfully accessing the device from a eduroam connected computer. Remember to configure a password for your device, it will otherwise be accessible to other eduroam users.

Ask the IT department at your university for a valid certificate. I downloaded this certificate from the KTH eduroam web page, not sure it will work for you if you are registered at another university.

If this doesn't work for you, please upload a screenshot from MAX when trying to connect to the network.

Best regards,

with the new myRIO driver update the myRIO can now act as Wifi hotspot, hosting its own network to connect your labtop to. no need for Wfi of admins.... By the way, until now you also had the possibility to create a Ad-Hoc wifi network with Windows to connect the myRIO to.
