Customer Reviews / Build Your Own Wireless LAN (with Projects)
| This book is very useful in explaining basic Wireless concepts, the hardware needed to make the connections in your home, office and even when traveling and connecting wirelessly outside of your own home network. I enjoyed the hands-on projects at the end of varies chapters to enforce what you learned, it's really for someone who doesn't want to be bothered with a bunch of technical jargon, it's written in very generalized terms enough to understand and follow through. Also, I want to point out that if you're working with Linux or Apple platforms, the book those NOT cover those areas, it's kind of a Microsoft Windows approach to Wireless, Hope this review helps. |
| This is yet another great book in that old Tab BYO series. If you're the type who'd rather upgrade last year's model than go back to Dell for who-knows-what's-inside, this is for you. I was out to wire my church campus last weekend without a whole lot of success. The problem ended up being the antenna wich I never would've figured out without this book. I wouldn't say it was easy but it wasn't hard either, once I read Chapter 5. |
| It's always disappointing to get a book that is one-dimensional. Here's one for you. Linux information? The word Linux is mentioned one time. Apple info? Same thing, so if you're looking for getting your wireless lan truly cross-platform compatible, this book doesn't do it. On the one hand, it's more general than that. But on the other hand, when it gets specific, it's exclusively talking Windows. So that's a minus. Beyond that, it is an ok general overview of the issues involved with setting up wireless lans, and it also has information on other wireless technologies that one might use. Most discussion is for the newbie, so if that's you, maybe this book could help. Although the way technical writing for Windows is, things always sound more complicated than they really are. The typeface is enlarged Dummies style, which is mildly annoying. Large type = little substance. |
