who is this book for?

• Anyone who could use a simple guide to buying and installing a wireless network

• Those who are setting up their first network of any kind

• People with some computer training but very little network experience

• Folks who have had some experience with a network at the office and would like to see some of the benefits of a network at home

If you're interested in a wireless networking bible, with lots of schematics and lingo, this isn't the book for you. This book will, however, get you up to speed on wireless networks, quickly. You'll be up and running in no time.

After reading this book, you should be able to accomplish the following tasks from any room, out by the pool, or sitting in front of the fireplace in your home:

• Surf the web on your laptop

• Print a document on a printer in another room

• Listen to MP3 audio or Web-based video over your network

• Stop burning CDs or using floppies to move files from one computer to another

The premise of this book is to offer simple explanations of wireless technology with a focus on installing, setting up, configuring, and troubleshooting your equipment. The emphasis is on a conversational tone that points out the best way to avoid problems before you run into them. You'll find lots of step-by-step instructions that will help guide you, even if you haven't yet purchased your equipment. Where appropriate, screenshots illustrate where to point, click, and generally wrestle your wireless network into submission.

Again, if this is your first time installing a network, don't worry. You'll find that it's (nearly) painless, and the book will guide you through the troublesome areas. Now let's get to work!
