Encryption type TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode. If TKIP is applied in 802.11n mode,
the clients may not be able to access the wireless network of the EAP. If TKIP is applied in
11b/g/n mode (in the 2.4GHz frequency band) or 11a/n (in the 5GHz frequency band), the
device may work at a low transmission rate.
