WiFi proponent Glenn Fleishman has a new book out, Take Control of Your AirPort Network (info). The ebook is aimed at Mac users who want to build, secure, and extend a wireless network. It’s available only in electronic form, ($5, 89 pages). Here’s a pdf preview.
The book covers how to choose a base station, solving basic configuration problems, and has an 11-page section on setting up your own dynamic addressing using DHCP and NAT through a variety of techniques. It also goes deep on extending range and securing a setup, with appendixes that include configuring AirPort Express (shipping any day now), and picking alternative Wi-Fi adapters for both older and newer Macs.
The idea behind this series of books is to provide highly focused, short titles at a low price. As Fleishman says, “for five bucks, how can you go wrong”?
