Worried about identity theft, fraud or WiFi intruders? Also covered, with point-by-point cases and guides, is how to secure and protect your WiFi network from unauthorised use and reduce the risk of network hijacking and identity theft. Includes clear examples for restricting which computers can access your network (MAC address filters), and using encryption, both WEP and WPA, to protect you.
Need help connecting? Our troubleshooting guide will help you to identify common problems with hardware, software and configurations and quickly solve them.

Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Wireless Home Networking in Easy Steps (Paperback)
when I started to read this, I thought it looked promising but as I progressed through it I started to get annoyed about the fragmented layout dodging from one O/System to another and not really being able to keep the thread. I will try again but am not hopeful. Now of course we have Win 7 which will confuse matters somemore!

Didn't Work for Me,
By Allen Andersson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wireless Home Networking in Easy Steps (Paperback)
I was a computer software engineer for thirty years and invented global a VPN telephony database systems in the 1980s. I have a degree in mathematics from M.I.T. After losing touch with newer technologies in more recent decades, I decided to get acquainted with modern home networking and install my own system with mix-and-match modems, routers, and operating systems, left over from a recent business venture, but all in new condition. After many hours of study and experiment with this book, I could not make my home system work or even understand the self-referential vocabulary. My final solution was to buy all new equipment, which installed quickly and easily from the enclosed CD. (By the way, the equipment, bought refurbished, cost barely more than the two useless books I threw away.)
If I can't follow this book's "easy steps," then nobody can, except people already steeped in the subject, or whose equipment happens to be identical to that used in the book's examples. I plan to give this book as a Christmas present to someone I don't like. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

I Returned It,
By David S. Lott - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wireless Home Networking in Easy Steps (Paperback)
I found this book to be incomplete and limited. Probably ok if you are a complete beginner. Not helpful if you are looking for more advanced information. Very weak on Mac stuff.
