Introduction

idBlender is a reliable and modern Cloud RADIUS platform that is successfully used to rapidly deliver secure and powerful WiFi access via WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1x authentication out of the box. This makes the platform suitable to create individual WiFi login credentials for everybody who is using an access point(s).

This article contains step-by-step instructions on how use idBlender together with Teltonika routers.

idBlender setup

First of all you will need to set up an idBlender account. This will give you access to the idBlender dashboard and a RADIUS server for WiFi authentication.

Go to https://app.idblender.com/register and create an account.

Open the WiFi section found under the Services tab. Click Create button to create a RADIUS server, then click start to start the RADIUS service now or start it later at the end of the configuration.

This section contains your RADIUS server details required to set up your WiFi Access Point, so you may want to keep it open for the duration of this setup.

Teltonika router setup

Next, you will need to configure your router in accordance with your idBlender settings.

Creating wireless access point

If you have already set up your wireless access point, skip this step.

Login to your router's WebUI. You can do this by entering the router's LAN IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) into the URL field of your web browser.
Go to the Network → Wireless page.
Click 'Add' to create a new Wireless Access Point.

Edit your new Access Point as below:


Check Enable; Radios - Select desired radio; SSID - Your desired wireless interface name;

Navigate to Wireless Security tab and enter information from IdBlender:

Encryption - WPA2-EAP.
Radius-Authentication-Server
Radius-Authentication-Port
Radius-Authentication-Secret
Radius-Accounting-Server
Radius-Accounting-Port
Radius-Accounting-Secret

Save the configuration

Identity setup

Finally, you will need to create some id Blender identities, i.e., user accounts that will be able to use the WiFi network and authenticate to the idBlender RADIUS server.

Expand the Team section and click Identities.
Create a new user by clicking Create button on the top right side of the page.
1. Enter desired user information
2. Create or generate password.
3. Click Save identity.
Use these credentials to authenticate the user to the RADIUS server when connecting to this WiFi Access Point.
