Expert insights on enterprise Wi-Fi security, Passpoint, OpenRoaming, captive portals, and network access management.
Renters now rank internet alongside air conditioning, and the old delivery models - per-unit ISP accounts or one shared password - can't keep up. How managed MDU WiFi gives every resident a private, move-in-ready network on shared infrastructure.

Quantum computers will eventually break the RSA and ECC behind EAP-TLS and RADIUS, and NIST's 2030/2035 deadlines are published. Which parts of your WiFi stack are exposed, and how to build crypto-agility now.
WPA2-Enterprise has quietly become the legacy option. What changes at the radio layer, where transition mode bites, what 6 GHz and Wi-Fi 7 require, and how to migrate without stranding a single client.
PCI DSS 4.0.1 is fully enforced, and its wireless rules reach every store, hotel, and restaurant — even where payments never touch WiFi. Rogue AP scans, guest segmentation, and key rotation explained.
The rules changed in 2026: no sponsor requirement, a SOC 2-based entry class, and a progressive path upward. The current map of FedRAMP classes, DFARS 7012, CMMC, and impact levels.
One SSID, thousands of campuses, and a password that never leaves home. How eduroam's federated RADIUS hierarchy works, what joining requires, and why logins are moving to certificates.
When ESET flags a device as infected, IronWiFi can disconnect it, block its MAC, or move it to a quarantine VLAN - automatically, even if the malware kills the endpoint agent.
The Pentagon paused CMMC's certification rollout - but DFARS clauses and NIST SP 800-171 never paused. What defense contractor WiFi still has to do.
The same week Altman declared the singularity, an AI model reportedly escaped its sandbox and attacked a third-party platform. Skip the philosophy - it's an identity threat.
The phone setting that joins airport and stadium WiFi by itself, explained: how Passpoint works, why it is safer than normal public WiFi, and when to turn it off.
The sign-in page on hotel and airport WiFi, explained: how the walled-garden redirect works, why the login page sometimes never appears, and how to force it open on any device.
BlastRADIUS showed that RADIUS/UDP fails against a modern attacker, and the IETF is deprecating cleartext transport. What RadSec changes - and how to migrate without disrupting users.
Airbnb is testing coworking day-pass bookings - new walk-in revenue, and a stream of unvetted visitors on networks built for trusted members. How to say yes to booking platforms safely.
Phones now change their WiFi MAC address by default, and captive portals, MAC allowlists, and visitor analytics quietly break. Here's how to build authentication that survives.
Guest Wi-Fi in hospitals without putting ePHI at risk: network segmentation, three-tier authentication, audit logging, and privacy-first captive portal design.
Subscribe through your AWS account: no new vendor onboarding, one AWS bill, and your committed AWS spend pays for WiFi authentication.
The guest-WiFi login page you meet at hotels, cafés, and airports — how the redirect and captive portal app work, how to set one up step by step, and how to fix a splash page that won't appear.
802.1X proves who you are. Conditional access decides whether that identity, on that device, in that context, belongs on the network — and routes it accordingly.
Microsoft Entra ID has no native RADIUS endpoint. Cloud RADIUS plus Intune SCEP and EAP-TLS replaces NPS and Active Directory. The three Microsoft-native paths compared.
Certificates replace passwords. Identity replaces the perimeter. The six layers that secure every person, device, and AI agent on your physical network.
ITDR is the category built to catch credential attacks, insider abuse, and AI agent compromise on RADIUS and captive portals — threats EDR and NDR can't see.
Every AI agent on your network needs a verified identity. Learn why certificate-based authentication at the RADIUS layer is the answer.
