• tkip - This is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol encryption method added
later to the WEP encryption protocol to further secure. Not all wireless
clients may support this.
• aes - This is the Advanced Encryption Standard encryption method. It is a
more recent development over TKIP and considerably more robust. Not all
wireless clients may support this.

information to other APs on the network, allowing connected wireless clients to
switch APs without having to re-authenticate their network connection.
