How to set up WPA TKIP? Desperate for help

Post by Aggie »

Hi guys,

sorry for setting up an other post but I wasn't getting any answer in my other post.

How do I set up WPA TKIP?

The only options i have are
WPA2 PSK
WPA PSK
WEP
WPA2 PSK Radius
WPA PSK Radius

When I choose WPA2 it won't let me choose TKIP or AES...and it seems to autodefault to AES... I'm currently using WPA2 PSK and my computers will only connect using WPA2 AES.
The wifi keeps on failing every 2 days or so.
Wireline works but wifi doesn't work. :(
I've been told people who use TKIP don't have the same problem...please help

What you are seeing is expected. WPA2 by default should always use CCMP AES encryption. WPA by default uses TKIP. Select WPA PSK (also known as WPA-Personal) if you want to use TKIP encryption.

You can configure this via command line

Be aware - any changes you make via command line will only stay
as long as you DO NOT make any more changes to wireless
via the GUI. As soon as you make GUI changes in the wireless section,
those changes you made via command line will no longer be there.
