is it possible to use my radius server to authenticate my username and password off of my domain to connect to the wireless connection? I have a RB433 Thx.

Yes, if you consider your mac address as your user and password. You can set that up here.
/interface wireless security-profiles
set 0 radius-mac-authentication=yes
Then enter your mac address into your radius server as a username.

The only part that I missed at first was the radius-mac-mode. It is set by default to "as-username". My radius setup does not allow blank passwords, so it would not login. If your radius won't take a blank password, then
set 0 radius-mac-mode=as-username-and-password
You might consider setting up a hotspot. Then you can select your own username and password.

Also set up radius
/radius
add service=wireless address=xx.xx.xx.xx secret=radiussecret
