Nothing to do with WPA2, just Linksys' firmware implementation (probably) not optimising the hardware..
WPA vs. WPA2 Signal Strength & Speed

I upgraded the firmware in my Linksys Wireless G- Speedboost router to increase security to WPA2-PSK from the WPA-PSK I had been using. No problems on the upgrade--- except that speed and signal strength is a bit lower now.
What's that all about?

Power-cycle the router, leaving it unpowered for a minute or two. A reboot often helps after a firmware install. The overhead on the WPA2 might be stressing the processor, also.
