Books
Free as in speech
- Wireless Networking In The Developing World - third edition published 2013
- Looks very thorough and up to date. We should probably all read this!
- If you read one of these books, read this one.
- 520 pages.
- Only available in PDF. We should convert it to epub so we can more easily read it on the go.
- Building a Rural Wireless Mesh Network - A DIY guide to planning and building a Freifunk based mesh network - published 2007
- Exactly what it says in the title. Very step-by-step and not very technical.
- Wireless Mesh Networks - published 2011
- A set of technical articles compiled into a book.
- Looks like it has some interesting chapters, like "Trends and Challenges for Quality of Service and Quality of Experience for Wireless Mesh Networks" and "Secure Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks".
- How To Accelerate Your Internet - published 2006
- Sounds like a scam but it's actually not. Look at the table of contents.
- Has chapters on everything from policy work to OSI models, squid caching and traffic shaping.
Free as in beer
- Intended for HAM radio operators studying for the license exam.
- Probably not the best thing to spend time reading when learning about wifi unless you're really interested in the fundamentals of radio.
Non-free
- Really amazing book. The best book I've ever seen on wifi. Highly recommended! Juul (talk)
- Non-free _but_ it seems like you can read the entire book by clicking "Browse contents" above the image of the book cover.
- We have an ebook copy and Juul (talk) has a physical copy of the first edition.
- Building Wireless Community Networks - Rob Flickenger published 2001
- Really good info.
- Over 10 years old, but lots is still relevant.
- Non-free _but_ it seems like you can read the entire book by clicking "Browse contents" above the image of the book cover.
- We have an ebook copy.
- From 2005, so lots of outdated info on software and hardware.
- Some good info about antennas and connectors.
- Non-free _but_ it seems like you can read the entire book by clicking "Browse contents" above the image of the book cover.
- We have an ebook copy and Juul (talk) has a physical copy.
