Windows 11 - WiFi Connection Options

[robyholmes]

Hi All,

 

Could I ask what people are currently using to connect Windows 11 to WiFi onsite? The clients will be domain joined and controlled by group policy. Wireless system we have in place currently is Unifi. We currently just use a Pre-shared key for domain machine authentication. With radius (Against our Smoothwall) for our BYOD network.

 

I do have NPS Radius setup and Unifi can use it (Including for VLAN assignment) but I'll need to review it's setup, as it was configured just short of a year ago and worked during testing, but not put into use since. EAP type has 'Microsoft: Smart card or other certificate' at the top, with EAP (PEAP) below it.

 

I welcome your input, Rob

WiFi GPO and NPS.pdf

here are our screen shots

it works with both windows 11 and 10 Via NPS and our local Certificate server.

both GPOs are attached at the top OU for our computers so any computer will try and use computer Auth if they have wifi cards and are domain joined.

 

Edit - we use Ruckus for wifi on smartzone cloud controller. we had to add each AP as a NPS client since the controller is in the cloud not on the LAN and therefore the APs talk to the NPS server to do the auth directly.
