So, if a router supports AES under WPA (vs clearly denoting WPA2), it's really doing WPA2 - at least as far as my understanding of the standards goes. The point of WPA2 is that it implements the balance of the 802.11i standard, including AES. If anyone has a pointer to something to the contrary, please chime in! ...... Original Message .......
