Wi-Fi Home Networking by Raymond Smith

What a helpful book! I abhor manuals because of all the techno-language. This book is direct and easy to understand.

Problem Solver

Wi-Fi solves a lot of problems for us at home. Once we got cable internet, we could use the Wi-Fi station to hook everyone into it. It seems just as fast for all of us as for one. We only have one printer, but now everyone can print to it. And the phone line is available instead of being tied up by the modem in the evening, which is when everyone wanted to use it. We're never going back.

Excellent Home Networking Primer

I'm glad I got this book because I didn't know you could do all that stuff that he talks about. It's pretty simple the way he puts it and not too technical to read. It's not about rocket science. I set up my network at home and it works well. You can tell this guy's done it for real. Definitely worth the money.

Don't start without first reading this book!

Wi-Fi was a scary step - but now that we've got it, we'll never be tied down to wires again. We are so glad we started out by first reading this book. It explains in PLAIN English what you should know BEFORE investing money and hard work. The detailed illustrations and CD really helped. The glossary alone is worth the price of the book. And the author's easy style of writing makes the technical stuff easy to understand. Definitely read this book before you get started.
