 Good book, but...... June 16, 2008
Overall a good book, with good ideas and greatt explanations for the project. However I found a problem with Solar Powered WiFi repeater.
He is showing you to use a Power Inverter for the two WiFi devices you will use. That does not make sense. They are both 12 volt devices. Why not just connect them straight to the batteries, getting more usage time out of the batteries instead of wasting power on a worthless inverter?
 Outdated and the web has free info March 6, 2008

There is nothing valuable about this book any more except that the table of contents might stimulate you with some topics you never considered before.
The details and steps inside this book are rudimentary and long since outdated. Just Google what you are seeking and there will be better, newer information readily available for FREE !!!!

Bought the book with higher expectations; it only does an introductory job into the field of WiFi, containing and gathering info you can readily find over the net, and does it half way. Would only recommend it to someone with no particular knowledge in the field, who knows what Wifi is, but has no clue after that. Could make a nice gift for a 12 yr old tecky
A must have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 12, 2006
