I hate to give this book 2 stars because while reading it I really got the impression that the author was a good guy. Unfortunately I got that impression because he blabs a lot. This book is 300 pages long (not including index/appendices) and honestly could have been done in 90 pages. At first it was nice since I spend so much time reading really difficult books but after awhile I realized that I had read 30 pages and not really gotten anything out of it aside from some anecdotes and a couple tips.
The configuration chapters could almost be replaced with the vendors documentation and some common sense. I say almost because most vendors don’t really explain how to set up WEP or the ramifications of SSID broadcasts etcetera.
The security chapter in this book is 9 pages long! Doing a little math…hmmm, 3% of the book. Considering the security implications of going wireless this is … bad. To be fair he does throw security warnings all throughout the book, but repeating the same general warnings a bunch of times doesn’t help.
He also manages to complain about the difficulties of Linux/Unix for about 2 straight pages at one point. He’s a Windows guy, fine, I get it. But it’s pretty unprofessional to trashtalk in a book. It’s also a bit worriesome that the guy we are looking to for technical expertise is so obviously frustrated with something that 14 year olds routinely use.
So who would I recommend this book to? Someone who basically knows how to use Windows to check email but not much else. If you know anything about networking or *nix I wouldn’t bother.
