RE450 - Turn off TKIP protocol

Hi guys,I've just got an RE450 to connect up to my Archer D9 for better downstairs coverage. In terms of speed and coverage it's working great, however when it comes to roaming and offering the same level of security, I've come across a hitch.The D9 is set to WPA2-PSK AES. That's all that's allowed with WPA2-PSK only, TKIP and AUTO are blanked out. And to be honest that's all I would like to use as all our devices are modern, and this is the most secure setup.The RE450 however, although supposed to be mirroring the D9's setup, is also allowing TKIP connections. Not only is this less secure, but because it's a different security system to the D9, going up and downstairs means devices cling on to the first connected AP.It definitely appears to affect the handover, as after switching the D9 to offer TKIP, devices swap over instantly upon moving around the house. Even worse with this solution though, is that in order for me to enable TKIP on the D9, I also have to switch security to mixed mode, meaning WPA is offered too, a big problem for security and speed.So does anyone have any idea on how I can disable TKIP on the RE450? I can't see anything in either the admin/IP page, nor on the Tether app to change this. It does seem a rather big setting to not include if this is the case.I've attached a screenshot from WiFiAnalyzer for you to see what I mean.Thanks!
