TP-Link Archer C20 v4 00000004

In this model, the "Reauthentication period" setting is not available, but the router does honor the timeout specified by the RADIUS server. Operation mode can be set to "Access Point". All other settings should be set as mentioned above. This is a dual band router and some settings need to be set in two places, once for each SSID.

TP-Link TD-W8968 V4 0x00000001

In this model, the "Reauthentication period" setting is available as "Network Re-auth Interval", and the router also does honor the timeout specified by the RADIUS server, and follows whichever is smaller. Setting the setting to zero causes the feature to be disabled and the timeout specified by the RADIUS server to also be ignored. Operation mode can be set to "Wireless Router Mode". All other settings should be set as mentioned above.

TP-Link TL-WR740N v4 00000000

In this model, the "Reauthentication period" setting is not available, and the router does not honor the timeout specified by the RADIUS server. The hostapd daemon running on this router supports the feature and works in a similar way as in the above TP-Link TD-W8968 V4, but no option to configure it is available in the web interface, and hostapd is run with this setting set to 0. Judging by the source code of this (very old) version of hostapd, it is believed (but not tested) that this means, once authenticated, the router might allow the supplicant to continue being part of the network for up to twelve hours without querying the RADIUS server again. A fix is possible to make hostapd run with its default setting of 3600 seconds, but is out of the scope of this wiki page. No operation mode setting is available. All other settings should be set as mentioned above. '@@@'
