Hi, does anyone know if the buffalo whr-hp-g54 has
WPA2-PSK builtin, or do one of the fan-firmwares like
dd-wrt add that functionality? Thanks!

DD-WRT does support it.


Here are the choices shown in my router, which still has
the native firmware. I assume WPA2 is AES, but others will
know for sure.


No Encryption

Wireless signal is not encrypted. Because communication
contents may be intercepted, this choice is not
recommended.

WEP

Encrypt wireless signal with WEP format. WEP is a basic
encryption standard for wireless LANs. A WEP encryption key
must be entered

TKIP

TKIP is a more secure encryption than WEP. It is also
slower. Wireless clients will need to support TKIP. A
WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key) must be inputted.

AES

AES is even more secure than TKIP and faster than WEP.
Highly recommended if your client devices support it. A
WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key) must be inputted.


As far as I know AES is not WPA2. I might be wrong.
I believe it's just WPA-PSK AES or TKIP.

However DD-WRT does support WPA and WPA2 both or either AES or TKIP.
