Customer Reviews

The definitive guide to the CWNA exam and Wi-Fi technology.
As a CWNE and CWNT, I value material that can take the increasingly complex topic of Wi-Fi and make it understandable and applicable to your career. This book exemplifies what both a technical reference and study guide should. I highly recommend this book to anyone that would like to further their career by certification and / or gained knowledge in the exploding industry of Wi-Fi.

Material is on target for the test
Having just taken (and passed) the CWNA exam with this as my primary reference, I applaud the authors, both for their thorough coverage and readable style. This is one of the best exam prep books I've used. My advice: read it cover to cover, then read the last chapter (802.11n) at least one more time... there were more questions about HT than I was expecting. The test is quite up-to-date.

Excellent Resource and necessity for CWNA
The CWNA study guide by David Coleman and David Wescott is an excellent detailed overview of the 802.11 technologies. As an RF Engineer and Consultant, I often find people have switching and routing backgrounds, but lack the fundamentals of wireless networking. I recommend this book to them because it is clear, concise, and easy to follow- whether you are reading a single concept or an entire chapter. The book has the right amount of depth to be understandable to the beginner, and also keep seasoned engineers interested. It does an excellent job of covering all the aspects needed to pass the certification exam, and provides a solid foundation where students can build upon as they go into the higher levels of learning, and administration of WLANs.
