The client adapter will automatically reboot or re-initialize and connect to the SSID using the proper encryption key. If a subsequent AOSS process connects with a lesser wireless encryption standard, the AP will apply the lesser standard and the Reboot Stack phase will be repeated for all connected devices. [1]
