Introduction
It’s never been easier in Apple’s 15-year history of offering wireless
networking equipment to set up a Wi-Fi base station and start
working. But if that’s so, why read a book on the topic?
Even though set up is much, much easier than ever—especially with
more powerful and sophisticated radio gear in the base stations—so
many of the fine details of creating a network that does precisely what
you want still require carefully plotted, step-by-step guidance. This is
especially the case for networks with multiple base stations, attached
disks, and sensible encryption.
In this book, I provide you with tips to save time, improve security,
extend range, and enjoy a technical edge when working with Wi-Fi.
I start with wireless basics, move
through base station installation
and configuration, explain how to share printers and hard disks, tell
you how to connect to a Wi-Fi network, give
advice on extending a
network’s range and quality, look at using an AirPort Express’s unique
features, and finish with how-to information on security for those
who want their AirPort networks safe from freeloaders and intruders.
