Windows 8.1 Wireless Authentication WPA2-Enterprise

Question

For the network at my University I have to set wireless authentication to WPA2-Enterprise using TKIP encryption. Since Windows 8.1 doesn't seem to have the usual wireless settings, I tried doing it via cmd. I tried

wlan set profileparameter name="NETWORK_NAME" authentication="wpa2-enterprise"

and

wlan set profileparameter name="NETWORK_NAME" AuthMode="wpa2-enterprise"

which both didn't work (invalid value "WPA2-Enterprise" for command option authentication / AuthMode).

Anyone know the correct paramter to set the authentication mode accordingly?

Thanks!

Solution

You want:

netsh wlan set profileparameter name="NAME" authentication=WPA2 encryption=TKIP

If you type netsh wlan set profileparameter ?, the help that comes up lists the available values for the settings.

Usage: set profileparameter [name=]<string> [[interface=]<string>]
       [SSIDname=<string>] [ConnectionType=ESS|IBSS] [autoSwitch=yes|no]
       [ConnectionMode=auto|manual] [nonBroadcast=yes|no]
       [authentication=open|shared|WPA|WPA2|WPAPSK|WPA2PSK]
       [encryption=none|WEP|TKIP|AES] [keyType=networkKey|passphrase]
       [keyIndex=1-4] [keyMaterial=<string>] [PMKCacheMode=yes|no]
       [PMKCacheSize=1-255] [PMKCacheTTL=300-86400] [preAuthMode=yes|no]
       [preAuthThrottle=1-16 [FIPS=yes|no]
       [useOneX=yes|no] [authMode=machineOrUser|machineOnly|userOnly|guest]
       [ssoMode=preLogon|postLogon|none] [maxDelay=1-120]
       [allowDialog=yes|no] [userVLAN=yes|no]
       [heldPeriod=1-3600] [AuthPeriod=1-3600] [StartPeriod=1-3600]
       [maxStart=1-100] [maxAuthFailures=1-100] [cacheUserData = yes|no]

Did you try AuthMode="WPA2SK" ? When it says syntax error, it probably shows you a list of allowed commands. Check that out!
