I've noticed recently under Status/Wireless tab the following line:
Encryption - Interface ath0: Disabled
What does this refer to? I didn't see any settings pertaining to this, and I was under the impression that WPA2 connections are by definition encrypted.

Your wifi is not encrypted. I have several routers running DD-WRT. That same line for me reads WPA2-PSK (the encryption I use).

I've unchecked WPA3 - probably none of my devices support it. It appeared in one of the updates in the last weeks, and just left it checked.
It didn't affect that line, though - still says "Disabled".
The only actual change I did a few days ago was switching from NG-Mixed to N-only (I figured I don't need backward compatibility as all my devices are at least N).

N-only is broken, has been for a while. Use NG-Mixed. It will still use N speeds. That may be the issue there. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.
