I was told I should select just AES not AES/TKIP both, is this correct?

Yes, it is better to use just AES (vs. AES/TKIP) if your client adapters support WPA2. You only need to choose AES/TKIP for older adapters support, but it may have negative impact with many 802.11n clients being rate-limited to 54Mbps for backward compatibility.

There is more detailed info on the main site here: http://www.speedguide.net/faq/wpa2-tkip ... yption-331 and here http://www.speedguide.net/articles/wire ... weaks-5681
