If it's greyed out, you may not be logged in as admin or the router requires it?

I would try to delete the network and recreate it. You generally are able to have lots of network connections, like home,office,etc etc all using different security.

I know you can get the option to use the certificates but all the ones I have seen will fall back to preshared keys if they 802.1x authentication if the router indicates it does not want to use 802.1x.... ie it does not respond. Normally you must set the router into enterprise mode to get it to even attempt this.

I know it is possible to lock these options down with group policies but this would imply this machine was a member of a domain and those policies were pushed at login to the domain.
