I'm having the same issue with my EX6200. All devices indicate that the encryption is WPA2-PSK-TKIP and not WPA2-PSK-AES as selected on the config screen.

 

This is with the latest firmware:  V1.0.3.68_1.1.104

    Also, there is no option on security to set it to "None".

     

    It's either "WPA2-PSK [AES]" or "WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]". I've tried setting it to the latter and a message pops up about only supporting G and not N with those settings. When I've set it to the latter I do see that the mode reported in Wifi Analyzer (on android phone) is WPA-PSK-CCMP and WPA2-PSK-CCMP+TKIP, but when I put it back to WPA2-PSK [AES], it goes back to WPA2-PSK-TKIP (not CCMP).
