364 Part V: The Part of Tens All the wireless products seem to have their own sets of fans. Some fans go a little further and set up Web sites geared toward telling all about their favorite products. The most popular brand of wireless gear has long been that made by Linksys (now a division of Cisco, the huge networking equipment vendor). So it’s no surprise that Linksys gear comes with its own unofficial support site, with forums, tips and tricks, and even links to specialized firmware that can make your access Network World Wikipedia Fan sites Network World (www.networkworld.com) is the leading publication for networking professionals, and although this site is geared primarily to businesses, it has lots of content about wireless because so much of the technology first appeared in commercial venues. The site has detailed buyer’s guides that show the features and functionality of wireless LAN products — and almost all this information is applicable for your home. Importantly, you can also search the site for more content on Wi-Fi and 802.11 as well as on Bluetooth and WiMAX. The publication has a large reporting staff and stays on top of everything networking related. For having content maintained by the masses on the Internet, Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is not all that bad. Anyone can update information on Wikipedia, and there have been lots of publicly discussed instances where vendors wrote bad things about other vendors on the site. But as a whole, it’s pretty good. Its wireless coverage includes topics such as the following: � Wi-Fi: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi � Wireless access points: n.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Point � IEEE 802.11n: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11n point do neat tricks, such as act as part of a mesh network to expand the coverage of your Internet connection across several access points. Check out the site at www.linksysinfo.org. If you have a different brand, don’t despair. Do a Google search or check out some of the sites listed in this section for forums or vendor-specific pages, or go to www.broadbandreports.com and look in the Hardware by Brand forums there. It’s a great tool to get a high-level idea of any topic, with substantial avenues offsite for more detailed information. What we like most about Wikipedia is that we usually find neat links to other related topics in the External Links section of each page — links we probably would not find elsewhere.
Other Cool Sites We can’t list here all the sites we regularly visit, but lots of good information is out there. This section lists some other sites worth looking at. Tech and wireless news sites The following sites provide daily news coverage focused on the technology industry in general, or on wireless technologies in particular. We make them part of our everyday Web surfing routine — you may want to as well! � SearchMobileComputing.com: searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com � TechWeb: www.techweb.com � ZDNet: www.zdnet.com Industry organizations The creation and maintenance of standards has driven wireless to very low price points and great interoperability. Here are some organizations pushing for change in wireless — each site has info about wireless and networks: � Bluetooth SIG: www.bluetooth.com � Freenetworks.org: www.freenetworks.org � IEEE 802 home page: www.ieee802.org � Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly WECA): www.wi-fi.org � WiMAX Forum: www.wimaxforum.org � Wireless LAN Association: www.wlana.org Roaming services and Wi-Finder organizations As we mention in Chapter 16, a range of potential services is available that you can use to log on when you’re on the road. Most of these have sections of their sites devoted to helping you find out where you can log on near you. Here are some frequently mentioned services and initiatives: � Boingo Wireless: www.boingo.com � iPass: www.ipass.com Chapter 20: Top Ten Sources for More Information 365
