It also requires more processing power than TKIP, which may be another reason (battery life.. I can't imagine the processor couldn't handle it, it just may suck more power).
Well, that makes sense. My options are:
  • None
  • WEP
  • WPA-PSK [TKIP]
  • WPA2-PSK [AES]
  • WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]
The last two options wouldn't work for me. So I'm currently at option three.
