CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Cert Guide, Deluxe Edition (Certification Guide)

The codes didn't work for me either, but I called the publisher up who let me know that they had made a printing error. The codes in the booklet are actually correct but they switched them around, meaning the code under the simulator software should be entered into the prep test and the code under prep test should be the one entered under simulator software.

I found this book to be a useful resource but one that focused a bit too much on “teaching to the test” at the expense of teaching moments. Case in point, the book devotes six pages to discussing command line options for traceroute/tracert but never stops to explain how a traceroute actually works, i.e., incrementing TTL/Hop Limit fields and ICMP Time Exceeded replies. I may not be the real target audience for this book (existing IT Profssional rather than a newcomer), but even so, it seems to me that this would be useful knowledge to share.

All in all, the book is a useful resource, particularly with included the video/test prep add-ons from the webpage, and I would highly recommend it, with tha caveat that it should be the starting point for aspiring network administrators, not an authoritative reference.

P.S., I did have the issue with swapped codes, noted in other reviews; kudos to the publisher for the prompt replies to affected customers.

None of the access codes work! I can't run the Lab Simulator nor the Digital Product Voucher! This may be a publisher's issue but hey someone dropped the ball on this one. Anyone else running into the same problem? It seems none of these new codes were entered into their systems.
I started a Pearson Support Case but so far they seem lost and asking me for images of the error code/texts.

I hope the author reads this!

Access codes issue still happening at least on my purchase. Trying to get help has been ridiculous. I explained I read the access codes issue and tried swapping them with no avail. "Their" customer service replies with what seems to be pre-written replies telling me to swap access codes. And when I asked for a phone number to call for help no one sends me one.
In both replies there is a mention of 'call of us for further assistance' but no phone number is listed and I can't find any on their site.

The portions I could access were fine and I feel the material and overall product is good and informative. But without the access codes issue fixed, I or you can't access all the content with this purchase such as the N+ Lab simulator.

The book arrived quickly and in perfect New condition. Purchased the Deluxe Edition in order to take advantage of Full Version of Lab Simulator Software and added content. Make sure you register the product codes in the book on the Pearson website. Once registered, make sure to access the bonus content under the Deluxe Edition ebook version online under Registered Products. The access bonus content located with the CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Cert Guide, Deluxe Edition is where you will find the link to the Full version of the accompanying Lab Simulator Software with 75 exercises included with the Deluxe Edition book. Looking forward completing this course and book.

Was a little disappointed the software did not come with the book as advertised

Will you really need the book? nah, in my class we only used it once. That's about it.

The book is fine but I can not get the digital simulator. I have swaped the codes as suggested on the insert in the back of the book but it still doesn't work. You can't call anyone for help just some worthless automated online support that doesn't help at all. Don't by the Deluxe expecting to get the extra digital content to get the extra content.

Has to few exercises that is not accurate as far test is concerned. My one big beef is the extras especially the flash cards this is awful you flip the card back and see the question in reverse but you do not see the answer that is very annoying.

Great book, and simulator software! Very thorough with information.
