Wireless networking

For any of you using wireless networking for business and able to switch from WPA to WPA2 encryption, then it might be a good time to do so.
Reason WPA is now attackable, however to do it you have to be relatively close to the access point so shouldnt be much risk in a home environment.
WPA2 is the successor to WPA and uses a different form of encryption which hasn't been cracked and currently isn't expected to be cracked.
