There are differences under the hood with regard to roaming and caching, header labels, and a few other things. WPA/AES is not tested during the WiFi Alliance certification process so there's potential for compatibility issues.</P><P></P><P>If your clients can't support WPA2 then they probably can't support WPA/AES either, so my thinking is go with the certified combinations and do WPA2/AES and WPA/TKIP. (There's no reason in the world to enable WPA2/TKIP since all WPA2 clients must support AES.)</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:07:45 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wpa-aes-and-wpa2-aes/m-p/1153026#M21889 gamccall 2009-04-21T18:07:45Z Re: WPA/AES and WPA2/AES https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wpa-aes-and-wpa2-aes/m-p/1153027#M21890 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thx for the feedback.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:41:30 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wpa-aes-and-wpa2-aes/m-p/1153027#M21890 rsumpter 2009-04-21T21:41:30Z
