Thanks for all the replies.
I did look at changing the setting to that previously but got the message that it could slow down the data transmission. Have now changed to that setting and hoping that the message was just a generic message.

Fun Fact:
IF you use an Insight Managed device, it is impossible to have WPA2 Enterprise with AES because the Insight interface does not support configuring that setting. In this case, you would have to unmanage the router, and set the AES in the local router interface. IF you ever manage that router with Insight again, it will overwrite your AES with Mixed Mode/TKIP.
