Can't authenticate with router on 802.1x network

0

I need to set up an access point in my dorm as wifi doesn't make it to my room. I have an ethernet outlet which doesn't even require auth (wifi, on the contrary, does. You need university credentials which I have) and it works just fine connecting a PC. But I want to connect an AP to it, in order to create my local network and connect my phone to it as well.

I followed this guide, but at the command:

wpa_supplicant -D wired -i eth0 -c /etc/config/wpa.conf

it gets stuck with this message looping

eth0: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-STARTED EAP authentication started

I am using an Asus RT-AC51U and a macbook. What can I do?

Please post the verbose logs of wpa_supplicant -d -d .... – user1686 – 2019-09-04T09:04:58.293

@grawity how do I do that? – AndreaCRD – 2019-09-04T09:27:35.997

1You might want to engage with your university's IT dept. They might be able to advise a little better than we can. – Burgi – 2019-09-04T10:16:30.720

@AndreaCRD Run the same command, with some -d options added. – user1686 – 2019-09-04T10:21:50.270

Yeah, you can't insert it in that specific place, as the word wired is actually a parameter for -D... easiest to just put it at the end. – user1686 – 2019-09-04T11:06:18.027

Make sure and double check your university's policies before you actually do this. Chances are that it's against the IT policies, and you may get in trouble for it when the university's IT department finds out about it (and they will find out, unless they're completely incompetent). – Austin Hemmelgarn – 2019-09-04T19:47:00.547
