Wireless networking combines two complex technologies - networking and radio frequencies - making it a challenging yet rewarding area to explore. The Wireless Cookbook provides those skills through a hands-on, project-based approach designed for hobbyists, educators, and Linux enthusiasts. This book uses accessible step-by-step recipes to teach readers about Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Long Range (LoRa) technologies through practical, feature-rich projects built with Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers (SBCs). Each chapter presents a self-contained project, guiding readers from foundational concepts to real-world applications as they gain fluency in Python and essential Linux tools, all while uncovering the capabilities of modern SBCs. Unlike theoretical guides, The Wireless Cookbook emphasizes functional, customizable projects you can use in daily life or expand into your own creations, providing the knowledge and confidence to experiment with cutting-edge technologies. Covers the fundamentals of the 802.11 wireless (Wi-Fi) protocol, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Long Range (LoRa) wireless, and the LoRaWAN protocol in depth.

Bill Zimmerman is a software engineer, open source contributor, and creator of RaspAP, the popular wireless router for Raspberry Pi. With over 30 years of experience, Zimmerman has taught Linux and wireless networking to learners of all ages across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. When he’s not coding or building open source tools, he’s probably trail running or taking his old Land Rover somewhere off the grid.
