Wi-Fi Setup Made Simple: A Friendly Beginner’s Guide to Building Safe and Strong Home Networks

A friendly, plain-English guide to setting up a safe, fast home Wi-Fi network from scratch — including passwords, parental controls, and guest networks.

Setting up a home Wi-Fi network shouldn’t require an IT degree. In Wi-Fi Setup Made Simple, Connor Blake shares more than two decades of networking expertise in the friendliest way possible — with real stories, simple analogies, and hands-on tips that make technology feel approachable for everyone.

Whether you’re a busy parent trying to keep the household connected, a retiree navigating your first router, or someone who has just moved into a new home and wants to get things right from the start — this book walks you through every step with patience and clarity.

What’s inside

You’ll learn how to choose the right router and equipment for your home, set up your network securely from day one, create separate networks for guests and smart home devices, troubleshoot the most common Wi-Fi problems without calling a technician, and keep your network safe against modern threats.

Includes budget-savvy tips to maximise your setup without overspending, plus a maintenance guide so your network stays strong long after initial setup. Readers call it “the book I wish I’d had when I moved in.”
