TKIP vs AES encryption for wifi

[Guest mabarumaboy]

I have successfully set up my Qtek 8310 wifi connection at home. However, I noticed one wrinkle where I had to change my WPA-PSK wireless AP encryption scheme to TKIP (I had previously set it to AES, as AES is a stronger encryption scheme). AES is apparently not supported on the 8310. I am curious: does anyone know whether the i-Mate SP5 supports AES encryption?

Hi there..

My Qtek 8310 is the same ...only TKIP supported. Not really a problem for me as I had to set my Wireless router to use WEP as I have some older 802.11b WiFi adapters on my network. The firmware on these older devices cannot be upgraded any further so I am stuck with 128 bit WEP until decide to replace the older kit.

To be honest as it's a private network at home I am not to bothered about it using WEP ...if I have any sad neighbours who have nothing better to do than sniff packets on my WiFi network to get the WEP key then good luck to them ;)

Currently only WPA-PSK. at least it is better than WEP..

rom updates should be available within the next month or so, who knows, maybe this will change?? along with other bug fixes??

I am sorry. No.

AES need stronger hardware chip support. It's not supported in sp5.

That would make sense - AES does need hardware support and probably the 8310/SP5 wifi chipset is not AES-capable. Thanks.
