US Robotics WiFi router

Does anybody know about a feature called radius? Its a feature on my router and I'm not sure how to use it. It asks for two ip addresses of a radius server (I think). I'm just wondering if I would have to purchase the radius software to install on my server, to ultimately enhance my wireless security.

Sure, RADIUS in a method of 802.1x authentication tracking. It stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. When you are running 802.1x authtication for wireless access, Radius will keep a comprehensive list of logins, passwords, times, dates, etc.

To answer your other question, you wouldn't necessarily have to purchase RADIUS software.. there are free/open source RADIUS implementations available, such as FreeRADIUS or XTRadius.
