Features: The main shortcomings of wireless local area networks in the past were low transmission rates, high costs, limited product lines, and many products were not mutually compatible. IEEE 802.11b fundamentally changed the design and application status of wireless local area networks. The 802.11b wireless local area network is particularly suitable for small office spaces and home networks due to its convenience and scalability. This book first introduces the working principles of Wi-Fi technology and the equipment required for wireless implementation. It then provides an in-depth analysis of installing and using wireless networks on computers running different operating systems, and introduces some other types of networks. Finally, it discusses related security issues and virtual private networks (VPNs). This book is suitable for users who need to install and use wireless networks and wish to delve deeper into wireless networks, as well as readers interested in wireless network technology.
