      Okay so I signed up for Earthlink wifi as my internet access and now I want to connect the WAN side of my router to it.  I have done this in the past with both open networks and WPA-PSK networks, so I have the basics down.

      Earthlink uses PEAP so basically my pfSense box is a "Radius Client" and I need to pass my username and password to earthlink.

      This link shows how to set it up on XP so you can get an understanding of the info I need to pass to earthlink.

      Thanks in adavance,

      Steve

        Well no one has posted a reply to my original post, so I'll ask two simple questions.  Can the WAN side of pfSense be a radius client?  Can it be done on a wireless interface?

          No, it can't be a RADIUS client. This is the first I've heard of any ISP requiring that. I get a 404 on the link in your post.
