WPA/WPA2
WPA/WPA2 is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of
data protection and access control for existing wireless LAN. Matching
authentication and encryption methods must be set up on your Barricade

network cards must be equipped with software that supports WPA. A
security patch from Microsoft is available for free download (for XP only).
