Dummies! 25 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Disappointing, and not up to Dummies usual standard. It told me lots about things I didn'tt want to know, and virtually nothing about security, sharing, Workgroups, permissions and passwords.
I was the Dummy this time.

An Overwhelming Amount of Information 23 Feb 2011
By Bruce Lelievre - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
My title may be misleading in that it may depict too much information. This is far from the truth. This book covers all aspect of a wireless network that's available. After reading this book, you'll walk away with a complete knowledge of how to create a wireless network. The contents is written in a manner most readers can understand. Technical terms are used but are explained using common terminology.

Having years of computer technical background, I found this book complete in it's information. This is the ideal book for anyone in the computer field. The only drawback in this book becomes clear if all you want to do is a simple task such as creating a wireless network to access the internet. In such a case, to a non technical reader, you would have to dig through countless pages to find what is needed.

I guess it comes down to if you want a book that shows you all aspects of a wireless network or a specific task. This book covers all of it.
