Running WPA3-Enterprise in my home network

It’s no secret that by now, most home networks use WPA-Personal. Why? It’s a simple password. This included mine, well, until today.

I always wanted to try WPA3-Enterprise in my home network, at least on the SSID/VLAN for my devices (versus the rest of my family). The roadblock was FreeRADIUS not working with Samba and MS-CHAPv2, it was a permissions issue (I don’t want to pirate Windows Server).

So here’s me connected to my WPA-Enterprise on my phone:

Why?

While I know the reasons for WPA3-Enterprise in an office network, it seems overkill for a home network. So why do it?

Because I can.

It’s easy enough to do on a Incus UniFi controller. After all, I have a cluster of MikroTik 10G equipment when I could just rent an ISP-provided router and extender like a Joe and focus on “AI” instead.

Well, I’m done.
