R-series does not support 802.1x or Captive Portal. It is primarily a home and small business router, not really for enterprise or service provider/hotspot applications.

So for 802.1x WPA2-Enterprise, cnMaestro captive portal etc you need one of the E-series APs.

The first three are outdoor devices for fixed-wireless backhaul. As Bobby mentioned, use the e410 (it is indoor Wi-Fi AP). If installing outdoor use e500 or e700 (for Omni), or for sector antenna e501S or e502S.

Note that AD-integration is supported only for guest-wifi (captive portal login). For WPA2-Enterprise the cnPilot APs dont integrate directly with AD but go through a RADIUS server (Such as Windows NPS) which would then look up AD.
