MacVoices #756 - Glenn Fleishman Takes Control of Apple 802.11n AirPort Networking
Posted by Chuck on April 6th, 2007
Glenn Fleishman, the author of Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network, talks about how to take full advantage of the latest in wireless networking technology. Glenn tells you you don’t have to worry about the 802.11n draft spec issue and outlines the benefits, both expected and unexpected of upgrading to the new hardware. The new AirPort Extreme base station brings plenty of new capabilities such as network attached storage options, two frequency band options and more. Glenn talks about what works and what doesn’t, helps you decide if it is time to upgrade, reviews the new security options and reminds us that wireless networking isn’t just about sharing your internet connection.

[...] My new ebook, Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Network, is out: The 154-page electronic book (immediate download) covers every aspect of using Apple’s new 802.11n base station and client adapters, including how to set up a side-by-side legacy network (802.11b/g in 2.4 GHz) and new 802.11n (5 GHz), choosing the right band and channel, the benefits and logistics of adding shared hard drives via the base station, and connecting an Apple TV to the network. I run through all the security options now available, including Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which Apple has integrated into both its operating system and its base station firmware. The book costs $10. Wait, did I say $10? As a Wi-Fi Networking News reader, you get 10-percent off (paying $9) by following this link or using this coupon code: CPN005070406WNN.
