Hard to Find a Better Introductory Book

If you're thinking about setting up a wireless LAN, you would have to go a long way to find a better book than this one to use as a reference for what you can do with the LAN, the equipment that is available, and how to go about setting it up. This includes everthing from the interface adapters to the access points, hubs, routers and so on.

This may sound strange, but I'd suggest that you read the last chapter first. It's title is 'Top Ten Wi-Fi Security Questions.' Wireless means radio is used for transmitting the data. Radio means that this is being broadcast between the various devices. Someone outside your immediate area, can scan and detect your radios signals that are carrying your data. You can make your LAN secure, but reading this chapter first gives you a good introduction that will help you as you read the rest of the book.

This is a new book. It includes a lot of the newest toys like the cell phone sized Wi-Fi phone. They also cover digital cameras, security devices, all kinds of things that you may not have thought of initially.
