Linksys WAP54G and AES vs TKIP

30 Mar 2005 12:55 PM

nusr

I have a WLAN using the Linksys WAP54G access point implemented with the
WPA-AES security mode. The group renewal key is set for 3600 seconds. I
have the following wireless adaptors attached to the access point.

Linksys WPC54G
Netgear WG-111
DELL 1350 Mini-PCI
D-Link DWL-G122

I've tried using TKIP but the D-LINK adaptor would drop off the WLAN during
the rekeying periods. No matter what time limit I set. The access point and
adaptors are running with the latest and greatest drivers and firmware.

Why not just use AES?

TKIP is WAP
AES is WAP2

Taking a moment's reflection, RedpIll mused:

| TKIP is WAP
| AES is WAP2

You mean WPA and WPA2 ... WAP = wireless access point

Errr...
<pedant>
WAP = Wireless Application Protocol
This is what allows broswer-based access from mobile devices such as
mobile phones (cell phones).

An access point is, by definition, wireless...

It means that as well. Though, WAP is also an accepted acronym for
wireless access point.

To you as well.

So, what's the problem? AES is better than TKIP. Use it.
