Although some WiFi clients might support AES with WPA, the WAC720 and WAC730 access points do not support WPA with AES. The TKIP + AES encryption method is supported both for WPA and WPA2. Broadcast packets use TKIP. For unicast (point-to-point) transmissions, WPA clients use TKIP, and WPA2 clients use AES. For the WPA & WPA2 mixed mode, TKIP + AES is the only supported data encryption method. Change the QoS Policy for a WiFi Security Profile To change the QoS policy for a WiFi security profile: 1.
