UniFi Network RADIUS Server

UniFi Network RADIUS Server
In this video I am going to explain and show you how to use the RADIUS Server facility in your UniFi Network Controller to make use of it by setting up separate usernames & passwords for each user and or device to be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network thus helping to improve network security by having individual usernames & passwords rather than having one Wi-Fi password or pre-shared key for all or many users & devices.
This way you can grant users access on a per user or device level or for example block an individual user or device by removing their account details rather than having to change a shared Wi-Fi password for example.
This guide is based on using UniFi OS version 3.2.12 and UniFi Network Controller version 8.0.28

Thanks for the video. I appreciate the work you do.

[@MrTimTech2022]

You're very welcome @sandsquid (great YT name by the way). Keep a look out for my new Grandstream network video series starting today with unboxings!

Great video! Is there anyway to have the same type of authentication when connecthing via ethernet cable?

[@MrTimTech2022]

Hey Adrian, thanks very much. Yes I believe ticking the 'Wired Networks' which is in the RADIUS Server settings. Just be careful with this though in case you mess things up and are not able to access your UniFi Controller. I have yet to test this on 'Wired Networks' so may well do a video in the future. But I'm sure it should let you allocate it to certain networks/VLANS or Ports.

[@diegkol]

Nice. How do this work when using the RADIUS MAC authentication option?

[@MrTimTech2022]

Maybe check the help section of Ubiquiti. However I may well do an updated video around RADIUS as I'm about to do a new updated video series for UniFi.

How to configure radius for Guest Self-Registration?

[@MrTimTech2022]

I don't think you can self-register. You have to create RADIUS user profiles before they can connect as far as I know. You could just setup a guest user account and hand that out to users as and when, however that's not really improving security, which is what RADIUS is really doing by creating individual user accounts
