What’s New in This Edition

This is a fresh book in some ways, but it has a hoary history that dates

back about a dozen years, making it the fourth “edition” in a line of

books about wireless Apple networks.

Whenever Apple has made significant changes to Mac OS X, iOS,

AirPort Utility, or base station hardware, I’ve

first covered those

changes by revising the current edition of the book, but sooner or later

the changes become so great that I’ve needed to not only thoroughly

overhaul the manuscript but also rename the book. (For example, the

previous title, Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, was

unsuitable once Apple introduced its 802.11ac base stations in 2013.)

In the process of creating a new edition, I’ve swept out details about

some older gear and software, so if you’re

approaching wireless

networking afresh, you aren’t overwhelmed with history.

This 1.0 version of Take Control of Your Apple Wi-Fi Network adds

content about iOS 7, OS X 10.

9 Mavericks, and Windows 8.1, and more

fully incorporates Apple’s 802.11ac AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule,

both released in early 2013. It still covers the 2012 AirPort Express,

and I’ve retained some backward-looking information for the 802.11n

base stations from 2008–2012, and have kept details about using Wi-

Fi with 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion.

Note: With respect to AirPort networking, 10.10 Yosemite, by all

accounts, will be nearly identical to Mavericks. I have noted a couple

of exceptions in the text.

Finding an Old Edition
