[QUOTE="jaynorris, post: 399602, member: 18140"] Actually, most colleges use a RADIUS implementation. This is what you would use to authenticate the network for network accessibility. RADIUS will authenticate and monitor the users network usage, session start and stop sessions for accountability. LDAP, Active Directory, and even Novell would need some means of technical support and custom software to be added to the domain. This is expensive to implement, which is why it's easier to use RADIUS. Most Universities also will only provide RADIUS or RADIUS like accounts to avoid implementing a full scale SAN that stores the students profiles. For the home use routers... The answer is yes! However the Airport Extreme doesn't really do this task well, and there are some other Linksys or Netgear routers that have the ability to connect to RADIUS better than Airport, and still enables each user to authenticate when they connect to the private Network. BTW, here is a Link in for RADIUS: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS[/url] [/QUOTE]
