Linksys WAP54G and AES vs TKIP

I have a WLAN using the Linksys WAP54G access point implemented with the WPA-AES security mode. The group renewal key is set for 3600 seconds. I have the following wireless adaptors attached to the access point.

Linksys WPC54G Netgear WG-111 DELL 1350 Mini-PCI D-Link DWL-G122

I've tried using TKIP but the D-LINK adaptor would drop off the WLAN during the rekeying periods. No matter what time limit I set. The access point and adaptors are running with the latest and greatest drivers and firmware.

So, what's the problem? AES is better than TKIP. Use it.

You mean WPA and WPA2 ... WAP = wireless access point

Errr...

WAP = Wireless Application Protocol This is what allows broswer-based access from mobile devices such as mobile phones (cell phones).

An access point is, by definition, wireless...

It means that as well. Though, WAP is also an accepted acronym for wireless access point.
