Finding Help on the Internet

There's an obvious benefit to the easy access and timeliness of wireless networking information on the Internet, and now that you don't have to wait to get online anymore, you should make use of it.

The 802.11 wireless networking standards are in flux, and new information comes out about them every day. New equipment, some that will bridge different wireless standards, is introduced at a fast pace as well. And you'll want to stay on top of pricing as costs come down and you look to purchase equipment that will allow you to expand your network.

The Web isn't the only place to look for wireless networking information. Resources such as online newsgroups often offer specific information about your make and model of equipment. Mailing lists are also a big help and give you access to savvy network users that can help you when you have a specific question and are in a hurry.
