A quick response:
The reason I posed the question is that up until the last month, our
wireless network has not been ideal, but stable. Stability is waning
and those that have looked at the issues conclude that the controller was
not designed to handle what we are putting through it. We are

TKIP has been broken. A long time ago.
This article
http://wifinetnews.com/archives/2010/06/say_goodbye_to_wep_and_tkip.html
talks of it being removed from the WiFi certification,the article was from 2010.
We run SSID's with spaces, and have been doing it for years.

Jake,
AES is definitely what you want to use, and with modern equipment it will
actually
be less intensive on your hardware since there is some key-caching advantage
with 802.11i/WPA2.
But another question is: are you doing PSK for the whole campus?
Giving the same passphrase to all your
Just a point I have from the past.
WPA + TKIP was only intended as a workaround until WPA2 was ratified.
That being said, here is a paraphrased note I have from a
wireless engineer:
Only WPA-tkip wpa2-aes are tested certified as part of the Wif-Fi
alliance certification. Enabling both mode is
Sorry, I just read that note again, I thought it covered wpa2-tkip and
wpa-aes, but I was mistaken.

I echo Peter's comments. The vendor's system should be able to handle
AES, especially as modern WiFi standards (802.11n forward) mandate its use.
As for spaces in SSID's, I've only heard rumors of issues in certain
devices, but I've we don't have spaces in our SSID's so I've never seen

We have spaces in every authorized SSID but one. That one is for the
robotics lab, where they use robot kits whose hard-wired programming is

I would think a space would at be at best a connection issue. Can't see
how that would lead to a performance issue.
I too am more concerned about your PSK. We still have a PSK network that I
just can't get rid of. The key hasn't changed in more than 6 years. Makes
me shudder. Why aren't you
