"Wireless Networking Made Easy" walks readers step-by-step through the process of setting up, managing and administering a personal, local, or wide area network in their home or office. The book is a clear, straightforward guide on an otherwise complicated topic for both MAC and PC users. Some 70 million wirelessly enabled computers, printers, fax machines, PDAs,and related devices were sold in the U.S. last year. This book is written in a user-friendly, nontechnical style, with a special section on wireless broadband access. It features case histories to help readers understand performance monitoring methods and common problems. The book includes an appendix of online resources on wireless networking.Competitive titles like "Build Your Own Wi-Fi Network" (McGraw-Hill Osborne,(0-0722-2624-2) also simplify the process of setting up a wireless network. Ours not only simplifies, but covers a broader range of wireless networking options by covering PANS (Personal Area Networks), LANS (Local Area Networks), and WANS (Wide Area Networks).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wireless Networking Made Easy: Everything You Need to Know to Build Your Own PANs, LANs, and WANs (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn more about how to set up a wireless link from my office (no high speed data available) to my home (1.7 miles away, line of sight, with FIOS internet). The book says you can do this, and it's a good thing to do. No really useful advice or diagrams, discussions of antennae, regulations on amplification, extra encryption needed, etc.
The book was a little more useful than telling a new poker player, "You gotta know when to hold 'em."
