Linksys has updated the firmware for the Linksys G router (WRT54G) to
include AES and TKIP encryption. I am using TKIP because it changes
encryption keys at a configurable period. Locking down access by MAC
address provides additional security.
I found this a pleasant surprise because I bought my router over a year
ago. Other Linksys hardware may have been updated to include similar
functionality.
Kind regards,
Gideon
