Under WPA CONFIGURATION, choose one WPA Encryption type. Because performance may be slow with
TKIP, we recommend choosing AES if your clients support AES
:

TKIP

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol provides data encryption including a per-packet key mixing
function, message integrity check (MIC), initialization vector (IV), and re-keying mechanism.

AES

The Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm implements symmetric key cryptography as a
block cipher using 128-bit keys. We recommend this setting if all of your wireless clients
support AES. The Motorola client adapters shown in

Optional Accessories

” support AES.
