I feel silly asking this question but value your opinions.  We recently had
some authentication errors that caused me to open a support case.  The
engineer I was working with eluded to the fact that having a space in my
SSID name could be contributing to the problem though not the root.  He
also inferred that using TKIP instead of AES would cut processing
requirements on the controller and therefore grant better performance.  I
have not been able to confirm his opinions from those I have asked
(including other engineers from the same company) nor in print.

We are using a single SSID for most of our campus, 'Grace WiFi'  WPA2-PSK
AES. Theoretically, should I get better performance (or less overhead) from
'Grace-WiFi' WPA2-PSK TKIP?

Leaving the vendor/company out of this conversation, will you please
comment on whether or not these changes will make a difference?  I would
love to either substantiate or debunk this theory.
