An Overwhelming Amount of InformationFeb 23, 2011
By Bruce Lelievre
"blelievre"
My title may be misleading in that it may depict too much information. This is far from the truth. This book covers all aspect of a wireless network that's available. After reading this book, you'll walk away with a complete knowledge of how to create a wireless network. The contents is written in a manner most readers can understand. Technical terms are used but are explained using common terminology.
Having years of computer technical background, I found this book complete in it's information. This is the ideal book for anyone in the computer field. The only drawback in this book becomes clear if all you want to do is a simple task such as creating a wireless network to access the internet. In such a case, to a non technical reader, you would have to dig through countless pages to find what is needed.
I guess it comes down to if you want a book that shows you all aspects of a wireless network or a specific task. This book covers all of it.

Invaluable for the novice networkerAug 08, 2011
By G. Morefield
"Schadow"
After years of dealing with the usual wire bundles under the desks, I decided to go wireless with my Macs. Although the maze of wires was a mess, at least there was some comfort in their their reliability and the thought of going wireless was a bit daunting.
I have used many Dummies books in the past and decided to rely on one for my planned network. "Wireless Home Networking for Dummies" by Briere and Hurley filled the bill in an excellent manner. Some regard the thoroughness (some call it repetition) of Dummies books as a drawback but for the less-than-totally-expert technician, they are well and truly invaluable. Most contain some odd bits of humor which some regard as corny, but the lighter notes provide some comfort when feeling overwhelmed by a task.
I was networking two new Intel Macs, a couple of printers and external drives, driven by an Apple Airport Extreme receiving signal from my internet provider's cable and my modem. Briere and Hurley guided me through the process, making sure that appropriate consideration was given to security through the use of names and passwords where advisable. The end result was a fully working network on the first try. Anybody driving by the house would need a large van full of decryption stuff to break into my network. Accommodation for a guest user of the network was provided as well as procedures for introducing Windows computers to the network.
Although my interest was obviously Apple-related, the book is an equal-opportunity tome and thorough attention is given to constructing wireless networks around Windows-based equipment. This book is HIGHLY recommended.

 Long on words - Short on info.Apr 25, 2011
By D. Korner
This book could be condensed by over half without the reader suffering. It is repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. Did I mention that it is repetitive? It reminds me of the morning national "news" programs on TV: the first third highlights things yet to come, the last third rehashes things already discussed, and the middle third covers very little new ground not already highlighted or ultimately rehashed, and hardly any of it is news anyhow. In the chapter on networking your home entertainment systems, network adapters are actually recommended that were discontinued from sale earlier in this decade! Save your money and find what you need to know about wireless networking from your local computer store. One final comment: repitition can be an effective training aid if, and only if, you have something worth repeating.
