Rating: 5

This is an excellent book. I first used this book to secure my home network and then I lent it to my IT dept at work and we had a fully functional fully secure wireless network up in a week!
At over 700 pages this book is a compendium of Information on Wireless technologies as well as wireless Security and is a collaboration between 11 authors.
Information is well organized and there are plenty of tables and figures which makes the information easy to understand. Most books stick to either theoretical aspects or practical aspects and very rarely both. This one manages to bridge the gap. It features a comprehensive tutorial on wireless technology, from Radio communications as well as architecture perspectives. Then covers security and then there are plenty of practical step-by configuration examples.
There is an entire chapter devoted to implementing basic security features on leading name brand Wireless routers and another for advanced features. Home Network security, as well as other wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Zigbee abd RFID are also comprehensively covered.
There is also a complete appendix at the end with templates for all the policy and process related aspects of any wireless security policy.
Whether you are an advanced home networking enthusiast or a CIO or some other IT related professional entrusted with implementing Security Policies for both fixed and Wireless networks, Then this book is a must read for you.
