I recently changed the encryption on 2 access points and 2 bridges from WEP to WPA TKIP.<br />

At the very least, in order for me to change from WPA TKIP to WPA AES, is all i have to do is change the encryption from the &quot;encryption manager&quot; page?<br />

I recently changed the encryption on 2 access points and 2 bridges from WEP to WPA TKIP.

I was now told that I need to use WPA2 AES  for PCI  compliance reasons.

I am not sure if the aironet 1200's firmware supports WPA2 but I do know they support WPA AES.

At the very least, in order for me to change from WPA TKIP to WPA AES, is all i have to do is change the encryption from the "encryption manager" page?

Change Cisco access point encryption from WPA TKIP to WPA AES

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
