tkip or aes encryption? my comp only connects with tkip

Which is better: aes or tkip? I can never get my wireless connected when I
set it for aes. It only connects with tkip, so I might not have any choice.
But should I care anyway?

Generally, a wireless router or access point will support only one at a
time -- either AES or TKIP.

I prefer AES myself because it is a very good encryption algorithm. Use
TKIP at home and AES at work (my home system contains a client card
which doesn't support AES).

Either is OK. No reports that either can be broken (except when using a
weak key). So use a good key and don't worry.

AES is WPA2 - not all hardware supports this (my desktop's WiFi PCI card
doesn't.)

So, switch to Windoze Wireless Zero Config and install the WPA2
supplicant.

Note that it currently does not support all the new and improved
methods of authentication. Currently, only EAP-TLS is supported.
