Of course it does:

LOL! I always wondered who bought the other subscription to AppleTV
(besides the one the iSteve's mother bought. I guess she's just the iMom,
isn't she?)

maybe the device in question cannot do faster. Encryption requires
computing power of some sort.
Maybe they just didn't bother implementing those encryption standards on
802.11n on that device inquestion since they assumed that any 802.11n
capable device could and should be using WPA2 anyway.
