Main Page > EOL Products > RUT950 > RUT950 Manual > RUT950 WebUI > RUT950 Services section > RUT950 HotspotThe information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version RUT9XX_R_00.06.09.5.
Summary
Wireless Hotspots are essentially Wireless Access Points - they provide network and/or internet access to other WiFi devices. The difference is that Hotspots are a lot more versatile when it comes to managing, monitoring and authenticating the wireless network's users. For example, while Wireless APs can be password protected, with Hotspots you can configure different users with different names, passwords, even data limits and data speeds and more.
This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the Hotspot page for RUT950 devices.
General
The General tab is where most of the Hotspot configurations take place. This section will be divided into six sub-sections - one for each Authentication mode, since the chosen Authentication mode will define how the Hotspot will be configured in general.
External Radius
External Radius authentication mode uses an external Radius server, to which you have to provide an address to, instead of using the router's internal Radius server.
