Book Reviews of Wiring Home Networks: How to Plan, Design, and Install Home Computer, Video, Telephone, and Audio Systems

Book Review: Informative Guide for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very well designed guide to building and maintaining your own home network. It covers topics for both retrofitting as well as designing a network into a new home, and each section is covered with detailed instructions and photos. There are sections on wireless and wired networks, how to run/connect the wiring, and even a section on removing and patching sheet rock. Even for someone who may already be familiar with networking, there are good ideas for the home, such as installing pvc pipe to allow for future upgrades without having to bring down the walls.

If you're looking to install a home network or wiring setup, this will tell you everything you need to know. While written in 2004, not much has changed regarding this since then, and many of the tips/tricks should be useful for a long time.
