This book has been immeasurably useful to me. Like a lot of other people, I had been wanting to install a wireless network in my home, but was scared off by stories I've heard about identity theft, evesdropping, and the like. This reference got me going with confidence..it not only provided a clear, useful assesment of what my particular risks might be, but explained them in a way that showed me the way to enjoy wireless in complete confidence. It is packed with useful info on products and configuration scenarios for keeping secure, and also has basic installation instructions for wireless routers and networks. It's not a thick book, but has everything I need.
