Product Description
This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version. This book is a complete "experience" for Wi-Fi users, offering how-to instructions and software discounts, full versions on the CD, and recommendations for Wi-Fi projects. The author takes the reader beyond just wireless networking to explore Wi-Fi capabilities in real-world applications such as Wi-Fi with PDAs, VOIP, and building your own Wi-Fi phone.

 An excellent high-level overview of the technology! May 30, 2003
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
(No relation to the author) It is true that dynamite sometimes comes in small packages and this book proves it. If you are in need of a starting point with Wi-Fi/802.11 based technology, this book will help you. If you or someone else you work with needs a high level overview of the technology and the benefits it provides, then this book is for you. It is not designed to go in depth or into all of the technical issues that revolve around this topic. But it does a fantastic job of giving you the basics in a very easy to read and understand manner. The only reason that I did not five this book five (5) stars is because it spends a large number of pages showing how to install and configure various clients. It really was not needed. I own 7 different WLAN adapters and they are all different. Other than give an idea as to what you might face or see, I don't think it really adds much and gets a little more technical than the general audience is going to want. Other than that, you can go wrong with this book.
 Disappointingly Little Content July 19, 2002

I bought this book with the hope that it would help me figure out a slightly more complex than average home wireless setup. The book is extremely thin, with most of the content being a walkthrough of various screens in windows to configure the client portion of a wireless network. Very little attention is given to how to configure a house with a DSL connection and wireless networking internally. There was no useful information at all on the setup I would like to create, which would have one DSL line but multiple wireless zones in the house. This book may be useful for those who have absolutely no knowledge of wireless networks, but for anyone beyond that level I would not waste the time or money on it.
 Helpful, practical -- and takes the long view. January 5, 2002

If you are looking for a book to help you with the pragmatics of setting up a 802.11b (wi-fi) wireless network in your home or office, this book is filled with information. The installation tips saved me alot of time, and the chapter on Security was very helpful. I also liked the big picture material included by the authors, such as case studies and interviews with people who are wireless gurus.
