In order to start our Hotspot, we need to create a Wifi access point without a dedicated interface nor with any authentication:

Navigate to Network → Wireless and click add
In General setup section:

Select "--No network--".

Select "No encryption" in Wireless security → Encryption
Save & Apply

Navigate to Services → Hotspot (Or install the package if it is not present by navigating to Services → Package Manager)

Enable the Hotspot and select Radius as Authentication mode in General settings.

Go to Radius menu and enter cobot.me radius information. In this example:

Disable Require Message-Authenticator option.
RADIUS Servers - 130.211.107.8, 130.211.56.175;
Authentication port - 26945;
Radius secret key

Then Save & Apply configuration.

Our configuration is complete.

Select the newly created hotspot;
After a successful connection, visit any website, and you will be redirected to the hotspot login page. Type your username and password;
