that both the AIRMAX5 and the wireless client stations use the same key.

Encryption Type: There are two encryption types TKIP and CCMP (AES). While

CCMP provides better security than TKIP, some wireless client stations may not be
equipped with the hardware to support it. You can select Both to allow TKIP clients
and CCMP clients to connect to the Access Point at the same time.

Group Rekey Interval: A group key is used for multicast/broadcast data, and the
