Anyone know what the cheapest WPA2 (AES-CCMP capable) router is?

pretty much as the title says. I need to get a handful of WPA2-capable adapters as well as a router, the router needs to support aes-ccmp cipher suite, plus be able to hit up an auth server (which shouldn't be a problem to find, unlike the aes-ccmp support)

According to Eweek, 802.11i uses AES-CCMP, which is supported by WPA2. As long as the device supports WPA2 and you are fine. Currently, Linksys WRT54GX, WRT54GX2 support WPA2 with latest drivers, which has been reported to work with other Airgo TrueMIMO-based devices such as Belkin Pre-N router.

Are you certain the WRT54G does not do WPA2 and AES-CCMP? I know it supports WPA2 with the latest firmware ... I will have to check when I get home about the AES-CCMP.

WRT54G is working fine with WPA2 and Radius on my network...

Check the latest Firmware.

Yeah latest WRT54g firmware I have does WPA2--I think its firmware 4.2x? I think the Sveasoft and dd-wrt firmwares do it also.

If you really need to go cheap, my local Fry's (Chicago) has an Airlink router that does WPA2-PSK and even WPA2 with radius for $23 but the sale ends tonight. PCI and cardbus adapters to match are $18. Wait for another sale and you can get security cheap.
