In this part . . .
T
he central theme is getting set up with all the gear you
need to make a wireless Internet connection. Of course,
before you dash out the door on your hunt for hardware,
you want to have a basic understanding of the way Wi-Fi
(wireless fidelity) works. Although my well-informed and
highly entertaining sock puppets refused to assist me
(something about putting pens in their mouths), I promise
that by the time you get done reading Chapters 1 and 2,
you'll know more about Wi-Fi than do most people (or
sock puppets). Armed with this knowledge (and with the
help of Chapter 3), you can plunk down your cash with
confidence. After you get your money spent and bring the
doodads home, you can use Chapter 4 to get everything
set up and fully operational.
