802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition

By?Matthew Gast
Second Edition April 2005
Pages: 654 (More details)

Book description

If you want to deploy your own wireless network--at home or at the office you must first understand the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start. This updated edition covers everything you need to know about integrating wireless technology into your current infrastructure.
Full Description

As we all know by now, wireless networks offer many advantages over fixed (or wired) networks. Foremost on that list is mobility, since going wireless frees you from the tether of an Ethernet cable at a desk. But that's just the tip of the cable-free iceberg. Wireless networks are also more flexible, faster and easier for you to use, and more affordable to deploy and maintain. The de facto standard for wireless networking is the 802.11 protocol, which includes Wi-Fi (the wireless standard known as 802.11b) and its faster cousin, 802.11g. With easy-to-install 802.11 network hardware available everywhere you turn, the choice seems simple, and many people dive into wireless computing with less thought and planning than they'd give to a wired network. But it's wise to be familiar with both the capabilities and risks associated with the 802.11 protocols. And 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition is the perfect place to start. This updated edition covers everything you'll ever need to know about wireless technology. Designed with the system administrator or serious home user in mind, it's a no-nonsense guide for setting up 802.11 on Windows and Linux. Among the wide range of topics covered are discussions on:

deployment considerations
network monitoring and performance tuning
wireless security issues
how to use and select access points
network monitoring essentials
wireless card configuration
security issues unique to wireless networks

With wireless technology, the advantages to its users are indeed plentiful. Companies no longer have to deal with the hassle and expense of wiring buildings, and households with several computers can avoid fights over who's online. And now, with 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition, you can integrate wireless technology into your current infrastructure with the utmost confidence.

Media reviews

"Gast's comprehensive coverage of the 802.11 standard is definitly worthy of the title 'definitive guide'. The reading is fairly fast paced and written in such a way that readers can skip to certain chapters and gain insight on the high level of the protocol with previous knowledge of the lower chapters...If you are curious about 802.11, or want a deeper understanding of the standard I can think of no other better place to start than with this book."
-- Duff, member of Network Information Management and Security Group, Amazon.com

"This book is loaded with networking insights, explanations, security considerations, operations, radio transmission considerations, addressing and definitions right down to network timing synchronization--all logically and clearly presented. For those interested in networking and how it really works in depth, this is the book."
--Les J. Kizer, Greater Tampa Bay PC User Group, July 2005

"While Mathew S. Gast currently works at Trapeze Networks, he also spent years digging ever deeper into the esoterica of Wireless networking across all platforms and has become a de facto expert on the topic. The 2nd Edition of the book was written three years after the first one came out and covers areas previously unknown or even perhaps unimagined in the area of wireless networking... If you want to drink deeply of the Wonderful World of Wireless Kool-aid, this book is not just a great book to start, but to end with. After all, it really is a 'Definitive Guide,' working with real-world scenarios."
--Robert Pritchett, MacCompanion, July 2005

"If you're in charge of laying out a wireless network (or you just have to have a book in hand), this has a lot of great information and I'd recommend it."
--Eric Weuhler, Amazon.com review, June 2005
