About the Barricade

The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a
single-user account. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in
minutes.
The Barricade is compliant with the next generation IEEE 802.11n draft
v2.0 specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the
current 802.11b/g standards.
802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO
(multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and
receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughputs for up to
300 Mbps.
This provides sufficient bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital
music, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the
Internet simultaneously.
