Radius Authentication fails

I have been trying to setup NPS for wireless authentication.  I have NPS server set up and the clients set up.  I have registered the NPS server in Active Directory and installed a certificate.   However, I cannot seem to authenticate any users.  I get a error stating username or password is incorrect for client.  In the accounting log I see attempt with group information from active directory.    The client is an extremenetwork wireless controller.  NPS server is 2016.    Is there anything that has to be set on the user directly or what am I missing.  I am a novice at radius so let me know what info you need.  Thanks

It could really be a lot of things at this point. A mismatched key between the radius client and server.  A policy setting on the radius server that doesn't match up. Maybe the username and password really are wrong.  The accounting log is good for showing a few things, but the event log in windows is often better for basic configuration issues. The NPS server has a few wizards for setting up common defaults too. Did you use one to do the initial wireless configuration?  Did you set your wireless controller as a RADIUS client?

I found this in the event viewer.  
The client could not be authenticated because the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) Type cannot be processed by the server.
