well, from all of the windows documentation i can find, you add the network manually by going to something like network places --> wireless lan properties --> wireless tab. this is essentially adding it as a preferred network. getting AES working on windows isn't really the issue for me since i probably wont be able to configure my brother's locked-down school laptop anyway. what i really want to know is: when i set the router to "TKIP+AES" encryption, is it TKIP encrypted or AES encrypted?
