Format:Paperback
Excellent book for the CWNA exam. The material is in depth and needs at least two readings to grasp! Note that there is a large errata document (7 A4 pages) which can be downloaded from the cwnp program website (the number of errata actually gives you some indication of the technical coverage of this book, rather than anything to worry about).

If you are planning to take the CWNA exam then this is the book you NEED. If not it is still an excellent reference for wireless technology. It covers DSSS, FHSS, governing bodies, devices, RF properties, WLAN security, troubleshooting and site surveys as well as all the main WLAN standards. It also contains simulated examination questions. One point to note is that although the book states 100% complete coverage you will probably find actual exam questions that are not contained in the book. Having said that if you study this book thoroughly you should be able to take the exam with confidence.

The only way to pass and excellent information to boot!

I used this study guide in preparing for the CWNA certification (which I passed). Prior to getting the CWNA, I had already obtained a few other WLAN certifications and had purchased several other books. I can honestly say that this program and, in particular, this study guide present the most information and in the clearest way. If you want the certification, then you will have to get this book. Even if you just want a good WLAN reference or to learn more about WLANs, this is one of the books that you MUST have. I consider this to be

CWNA Certified as of 2/11/05
12 Feb 2005
Format:Paperback
Well....were do I start. I took this exam twice before passing it. I think the problem was that I really didn't read the book from cover-to-cover. So on the third try I read this book 6 times.
In short READ this book from cover to cover. A hint: foucs alot on chapter 11 because it hits about 30 percent of the objectives and you cannot check your answers after you move on to the next question. Now thier are some questions that are not in the book like 802.3af standard(s), so read some white papers.
This exam is very hard. The question all seem to be right so you MUST know the aswner like you have worked in the field and that is why this certification is a good one to get.
Well....good luck in your testing and take your time.

Superb Text

I can't state it more directly: this text covers exactly you will see on the test. This was my one and only study source, and I got ~90% on the test. Nuf said on that. Even if you're not interested in the CWNA certification, this text is quite adequate in serving as a reference for wireless technologies.
For those who are debating whether this is a worthwhile certification, think of it as a compliment to your Cisco or CompTIA certifications that will give you an edge over those Network Engineers who are only trained in cabled-networks.
