Hi,<BR>
<BR>
Since you have configured with different security and SSID policy for two different AP's,you can't perform Pre-Authentication.<BR>
<BR>
To perform Pre-Authentication following things are required,they are<BR>
1.AP should have the support for WPA2-Enterprise/CCMP<BR>
2.Client should support for Pre-Authentication.<BR>
<BR>
Configure AP1 and AP2 with same SSID and Security Policy(WPA2-Enterprise desired)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
