Wireless Home Networking - Index of

looks at new and emerging technologies using wireless capabilities, such as
wireless refrigerators and wireless touchpanels, to control your home.
The magazine costs $19.95 per year for ten issues. Back issues are $5.95
each or six issues for $30 (plus shipping), so you can catch up on what
you’ve missed (we always love doing that). You definitely want to subscribe
to this one!
Its Web site is also packed with great articles and ideas, and it’s a fabulous
site for finding out how other people have adapted wireless devices into their
home. A bevy of slideshows demonstrate all sorts of homes that have been
remade into themed spaces — we love the Star Trek slideshows about
homeowners who have remodeled their homes to look like the Enterprise! No
visible wires there!
You can sign up for newsletters that will tell you about the latest articles on
their site — we always find ourselves clicking through on some topic. Check
them out at www.electronichouse.com/eh/newsletters/.
Practically Networked
Practically Networked (www.practicallynetworked.com) is a free site run
by the folks at Internet.com. It has basic tutorials on networking topics,
background information on key technologies, and a troubleshooting guide.
The site can contain some dated information (such as the troubleshooting
guide), but it does have monitored discussion groups, where you can get
some good feedback, and the reviews section gives you a listing of products
with a fairly comprehensive buyer’s-guide-style listing of features.

Chapter 20: Top Ten Sources for More Information
Ziff Davis Media has a great site (www.extremetech.com) with special
sections focused on networking and wireless issues. There’s heavy traffic
at the discussion groups, and people seem willing to provide quick and
knowledgeable answers. (You can find some seriously educated geeks in
these groups.) Check out the links to wireless articles and reviews by
ExtremeTech staff.
The site can be difficult to navigate because the layout is a little confusing.
We recommend that you visit the OS, Software and Networking area, where
wireless topics are covered in fair detail. And, if you’re having a problem
that you just can’t seem to crack, check out the discussion groups on
this site.
