This book covers the range of your AirPort and Wi-Fi needs, starting with how to choose an appropriate base station and adapter card - Apple is often best, but an alternative worth considering. This tells you how to determine the best place for your Wi-Fi equipment, and then how to configure the base station and computer for precisely your needs. Finally, you know about securing your network: both keeping intruders out and securing data across the network. Four attachments include issues concerned, including the AirPort Express configuration, setting up a software base station, using AirPort Management Utilities, and finding a Wi-Fi adapter appropriate for older Mac or PC.
