Connecting Samsung blu-ray to AX wirelessly issues with TKIP?

I just purchased a Samsung BD-E5400 so that I can connect it to my TV wirelessly for streaming. But I keep getting screens saying that "due to changes in WiFi policy, cannot support TKIP security type in 802.11n mode. Check a security setting on the access point. " It suggested on another screen to contact the ISP. Can anyone suggest which way to go...besides back to the store with a return item? I haven't had any issues with anything else connecting.... I even have 2 other Samsung blu-rays connected via wi-fi. They are a year older and different models... so I'm thinking the newer one would be MORE likely to support stricter security settings, not less. Samsung's support was really no help. I've seen a few posts regarding similar type issues, but they were a few years old (2009 and older)... and I am really not a tech person, so I get confused about all the security terminology... but I am just not understanding why Samsung can't tell me if it can work or not...only to "conatct apple support"... My applecare is long gone... I just want to know if there is a security setting that needs to be changed to make it work or if it just WON'T work and I need to return the thing.


Anybody have suggestions for me? Or been thru this?

TKIP is the security protocol used with either the WEP or WPA wireless security modes. WPA2 uses AES/CCMP which is more secure. In order to provide AES, you should just need to change the Wireless Security mode on your AirPort Express from WPA/WPA2 Personal to WPA2 Personal.
