I own a business where the two buildings in which we work in are far away. In the two buildings we have a wifi set up at the moment but what I really want is a different log in (username and password) for every person that works in the building and that logs them in and when they set up their username and password will save it on a server, so that when they go to the other building and connect to the other wifi modem that they can use the same password and username. So how would you set this up, I was looking into radius servers and how you can use radius do to Roaming but Im really new to this so I need instructions on how to set this up. [strike]Thanks a lot.[/strike]

You don't need a RADIUS server in particular...you just need a server running something like Windows Small Business Server. From that, you can add each computer to your WORKGROUP/DOMAIN and assign user accounts that have roaming profiles.
How many computers does your business have all together (both locations)?

If you have a microsoft AD server already you can use it as a radius server. It is pretty much just turning the feature on and setting the option you want. It tends to be easier to the users to understand because they can use the same userid and password for the AD log in as the WiFi.
The other way to do this is to load a prebuilt linux image. Many have radius feature already installed. In this case you would have to create the lists of userid and password for it to use. It is not all that hard you just have to learn some of the basic unix stuff. Things like userid/password is going to be a little more complex because the user would have to access this linux machine to say change their password.
The routers it is trivial to setup. You turn the feature on, you put in the ip of the radius server, you put in the password/key that the radius server uses to prevent unauthorized connection to it.
