Need guidance for learning networking for small business
Our small business just expanded and went from three Windows machines sharing files and a bunch of smartphones on wifi, to 10 DELL laptops and workstations, a VPN for connection by remote sites, wireless APs, VOIP phones, NAS backup and network printers.
I'm not trained for this so it's been very slow going.
Could I prevail upon this community to point me in the right direction for getting educated on this task? Do I need classes or are there videos and online tutorials that do the job? Is there some kind of "Network Engineering for dummies" fast track that can get me 80% there? I have a technical background and can generally talk the language.
Thanks in advance for any input!
