[I hope this belongs here - if not, lmk and I'll delete the post. I've been mainly lurking here so far]

In a month I'll be in charge of "IT-stuff" in a small office. People are generally happy if there is internet and VoIP is working. I'd like to take the opportunity to learn what I can, while I have the chance. And maybe/hopefully contribute to make it a bit better. For now I want to look into how I should configure wifi and access for office/guests (and devices that are used obv.) Thing is, I don't know where to start and what I actually can do. Do I just google "how to configure wifi in the office?" and go from there? (I'm a bit hesitant to do that since I'll not be able to tell if what I find is good) Is there any good reference material you would suggest? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I studied business informatics (but it's been a while) so I'm not completely clueless (but still clueless hehe).

Thanks so much, especially for the checklist of stuff I need to know. I know some of the stuff (or at least some basics) from an IT support job with a "historically grown" campus network hehe. Some acronyms I haven't even heard. Also: sounds like a good reason to finally install linux again.

No prob! Yeah just fill in the gaps of what you already know, always keep learning.
