Thanks for your suggestions. I guess I'll try them in the order a, c, b.

But maybe I should have been a bit more precise in my first email.
The final (first) productive installation should protect the access to my private WLAN with 3+ APs and 10+ clients.
So the performance impact in suggestion a) will be limited. ;-)

Currently I have set up a test environment to try and learn and, as a side effect to a more secure WLAN, a more detailed understanding of how (free)RADIUS works.

Cheers,
Klaus
