GREAT place to start in the wireless fieldAug 02, 2006
By Patrick Lemmon
"Tim Lemmon"
I just passed the Wireless# test today with a really good score. Before taking the test, I read every page of this book. It also has very good questions (with answers explained) at the end of each chapter. If you have a desire to work in the wireless field, but have no real experience yet, the chapters on wireless security, installation, troubleshooting and optimization really give you a head start towards that experience!
Sure you can find a study guide that will just barely give you enough information to pass the test. If you would rather have more information behind the meat, this book is for you. Some of this material was new to me, so I wanted to really know the subjects before taking the test. Besides, this book is the official study guide for the Wireless# test by the CWNP program.
This book (and certification) really is a mile wide and a couple of inches deep. Great place to start in the wireless field. After that, you're really set to start with your CWNA study and test. Now you're getting into a subject that is only a half mile wide, and many more feet deep. CWSP is even smaller but much deeper.
Good luck and have fun!

Fantastic introduction to WirelessAug 23, 2006
By AW
I took the Wireless# exam today and passed after using this excellent book. The book is extremely well written and easy to follow. Even if you already know Wi-Fi pretty well, chances are you might not know a lot about all the other wireless standards out there. As a previous reviewer said, this book gives you a nice broad introduction to all the major wireless technologies currently in use. The information is highly current as the book just came out this year. I recommend taking the exam, as preparing for that will ensure that you have a good grasp of the contents of this book. Even if you are already a CWNA, it's still worth reading this book. Be warned though that the exam expects you to have thorough knowledge of all the standards described in the book including relevant frequencies, ranges, etc. I recommend the practice tests on the CWNP site if you intend to take the exam. In short I highly recommend this book for anyone trying to get a grasp of all things wireless.

Wow. I really feel that I know wireless now.Jul 09, 2006
By Lynnette
I've been working as a netwrk admin for some time, but the wireless arena was foggy to me (I'm used to wires and switches and such). This book really brought wireless to life. I see its use in many industries and have an understanding of how the different wireless technologies work such as WiMAX, Bluetooth and RFID.
The last two chapters of the book were exceptional (security and implementation) as was the chapter on RF fundamentals. These three chapters alone make the book worth getting.
Originally, I wasn't planning to take the Wireless# exam, but now I think I will and I'll probably go on to the CWNA and CWSP certifications as well. Great book!

Wireless#Sep 21, 2006
By Gregg A. Hales
This is a well written book, it held my interest though the whole book I never had to force myself to read like some tech books. It not only helped me pass my wireless# exam but I believe that it helped me pass my Network+ exam also.
