What’s the practical downside to setting my router’s wireless security setting to WPA2 TKIP + AES instead of WPA2 AES only? I know that TKIP has a known exploit, but I have some old hardware (specifically, a PSP) that doesn’t support WPA2 AES encryption. What does the exploit let someone actually do?
My impression from the various sources I skimmed is that attacks on WPA-TKIP let you decrypt packets in transmission but not access the network itself. I don’t know if that’s correct or not.
Not sure where else to ask this...

If you don’t get your answer here another good place might be the information security stackexchange.
