Into wireless.....get this! (5/5 people found this helpful)
If like me you have a wirelss lan (or are thinking of setting one up), you will want to learn all the little tricks to make it just that more great.
The book introduces you to some of the coolest bits of software on the free market as well as some of the more less known ones.
It also shows you how to secure your wireless network, cool bluetooth tricks, monitor what your LAN users are viewing in real time!
AND LOTS MORE!

If you have a wi-fi enabled PDA or laptop buy this book. I found it well written and full of usefull tips for both bright eyed begineers, and the more savvy. Clear technical explanations for each 'hack' and most importantly how to adapt the 'hack' for the OS you have, whether it is OSX, Linux, XP, or Pocket PC. I particularly liked the sections on 'how to build your own wave guide' and 'How to test your home wireless network'. In short this book is a real gem and one I think I will keep on going back to. If you want to 'get your toes wet' with wifi or do something a bit different with your current setup, you could do far worse than by this book.
Outstanding (4/4 people found this helpful)
This book is an absolutely fantastic recipe book for those wanting to play with wireless comms (in particular, wireless computer networking). We have a remote farmhouse in Spain and the projects relating to stretching the coverage over greater distance are just what the doctor ordered.
