“…well written, generously illustrated and sure to spark the imagination of Wi-Fi tinkerers everywhere…” (PC Utilities, August 2004)

Excellent product & seller; Everything received in perfect condition, Thanks !!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011
This product in a soft package but was in excellent shape. My first browse through was a little disappointing to me because so much looked to be about antenna information. But of course it is about Wi-Fi and that is a big part of it. Lots of useful information and will be very helpful to create or extend a Wi-Fi network.
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2009
This book is not as advertised. It was totaly useless.. I would never recommend this book to anyone.. The information contained in this book can be found on the internet for free. Do yourself a favor and save your money and use google.

I must admit I won't be building a coffee can antenna, but it sure is cool to know how to build one. I've learned quite a bit about my home WiFi network in an entertaining way. This is fun stuff.

This is a book for those who have a little bit o' cash, a little bit o' time and a little bit o' tinkering skills. The projects are easy and useful.

Nice book for me a bit pricey.
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2004
I was hoping that this book would help me boost my Wi-Fi signal around the house, since the reception downstairs is a little weak. Well, it did show me how to boost my signal - for up to 20 miles! Ok, seriously, long distance wi-fi is one of the 15 projects in this book, but my solution was actually in building the high-gain antenna project in chapter 4, which did indeed solve my reception problems.
The book is very well written, and has plenty of photos to guide you along the way. The projects are definately cool, and there are plenty to keep us geek types busy.
If you are using wireless networking, I would encourage you to take a look at this book.
