Overview

Wireless Home Networking in easy steps is a clear, step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to set up a wireless network in the home. Starting with an introduction to wireless networking, that sets the stage on Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi5, Bluetooth and other standards, this how-to book guides you each step of the way with clear instructions and practical tips aimed at those making their first entry into wireless networking — no experience required!

If you want to find out how to share resources such as files, music and other media, printers and other peripherals or an Internet connection among several computers in your home, then Wireless Home Networking in easy steps will show you how this can be done without turning your home into a spider's web of cables.

The book takes you through the basics of wireless networking in the home from the simplest computer-to-computer link to a fully-fledged home network linking desktop PCs, laptops and peripherals. For each type of network, issues such as hardware selection, installation, and configuration are covered in detail. Essential practical topics like troubleshooting and keeping your wireless network secure are also extensively covered.

Steve Rackley has been working with and programming computers, from microprocessor machine code to mathematical modeling on supercomputers, for over 30 years ... and still fondly remembers the sound of the first input device he ever operated — an IBM 80-column card punch machine. His writing reflects a long-term interest in the innovative use of new information technologies in the home.
