Airport Express broadcasting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise?

We were recently scanning for wireless access points for a client using a product called Vistumbler. The client had two older Airport Express wireless routers, set to use WPA2 Personal, but Vistumbler was detecting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise during the scans. Has anyone else seen this before with any other routers or scanning software? If so, was there a way to only broadcast the current encryption setting?

The AirPorts can be set to WPA2 Personal.......OR........WPA2 Enterprise, but only one setting can be activated at a time.

In the highly unlikely event that the AirPort Express devices are really broadcasting with two different types of encryption, the devices either have corrupted software settings, or they are defective.

Try another scanner......like WiFi Scanner, located in the Utilities folder of the Mac, or another application to see if you get the same results.
