This book is very helpful!
I’m not very fit to criticize/applaud this book because I’m not a network guy but I’m trying to be!
That being said…
At a little more than halfway through I have a far better understanding about networks and network technology than I thought I would by this point. Some topics aren’t covered in depth but I wasn’t looking for an all-exhaustive reference book, I was looking for a “comprehensive understanding” book: a book that could tell me something about most things having to do with networking.
I’m really busy with homework but highly recommend this book for anyone but especially for two kinds of people:
-people starting from scratch in learning about networks
-people looking to fill in the gaps unfilled by their previous education(s)
I’m sorry if I’m not a very good reviewer but I’ve tried to elaborate my thoughts… however poorly.

The *Mike Meyers’ CompTIA Network+ Guide to Managing and Troubleshooting Networks* offers students a comprehensive view of every topic needed to become both CompTIA Network+ certified and a great network tech.
The book is a textbook and follows the design dictates of our publisher. Textbooks for students in the *Guide to* series don’t contain answers. Instructors get an Instructor’s Pack that has all the answer keys. That way instructors and students can gauge progress throughout the duration of the course of study.
For the reviewer who laments a lack of answers, tell your teacher to help you grade the end of chapter material that you complete so you can see where you’re at as far as studying for the exam goes. If the instructor does not for some reason have the Instructor’s Pack, have him or her contact a McGraw-Hill rep and get one.
For self-study, readers should not buy this version of the Meyers’ book, but rather buy the trade version. That’s the *All-in-One CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Guide,* 4th edition:

No answer key to the end of Chapter tests. I’m taking Network+ at CC and this is the text selected by the instructor. Now I want to do well in my class, but no answer key makes the book useless for helping me retain what I’ve read by doing the end of chapter tests.
