I used Network+ Certification Passport. It contained everything I needed in book form, anything else I thought it was lacking in you can find on youtube (Professor Messer videos).

It was small enough that I took it with me to work, in the car and anywhere else so I got alot of reading time on it. Because its fairly condensed, it takes maybe a week or two to read it cover to cover for about an hour or two a day.

I have not started reading my Network+ material yet but I went with:

CompTIA Network+ Deluxe Study Guide: Exam N10-005 [Hardcover]
CompTIA Network+ N10-005 Authorized Exam Cram (4th Edition) [Paperback]

Deluxe study guide comes With a simulator and extra content which sounded interesting.
Exam cram I found to be really good during my A+ studies so I decided to purchase for my upcoming Network+ studies.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like it went live on the 9th:

Amazon.com: CompTIA Network+ N10-005 Practice Test Questions (Get Certified Get Ahead) eBook: Darril Gibson: Kindle Store

I'm definitely going to pick this up to go along with Mike Meyer's net+ book.

Professor Messer's free video's are pretty informative. Professor Messer's Free CompTIA Network+ Certification Training Course | Professor Messer - CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Certification Training

Scroll down to the exam objectives and the videos are there. Best of luck in your studies.

Hi
I agree with folks about Professor Messer videos they are very good. Network+ (I have Network+ for N10-004) Todd Lammle. MM book AIO is bit watery for me. Todd gets straight to the point.

I'm with this. I can't do books that get side tracked with author humor, it distracts me. This is why I can never do meyers or lammle books.

I used the Mike Meyers All-In-One Network+ Exam N10-005 book. It took me 46 hours to cover the book twice and take both sample exams twice. I had about a month between each read as I was covering Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. I got an 860 on the exam even after having the frustration of waiting 45 minutes for an update to the computers. It would be nice if the test center reboots the computers when they come in to check for updates instead of finding out 3-4 hours into the day. Anyways, I have 7-8 years of experience in Windows desktop and server support, 1999-2008, with little router and no fiber-optics so factor that in if using my time estimate. Note, this book actually has a table to calculate your estimated time of study. I believe mine was 37 or 38 hours.

I started out using CompTIA Network+ All-in-One Exam Guide, Fourth Edition by Mike Meyers and then progressed to CompTIA Network+ Certification Passport, Third Edition by Glen Clarke. I own but haven't yet started on CompTIA Network+ Study Guide: Exam N10-004 by Todd Lammie.

So far, I prefer the Glen Clarke book despite a few annoying typos that crop up.

I used the Meyers All-in-One Guide as my primary study source, it gives you a lot of test questions. I also went through Total Seminars to get a test voucher / practice exam combo that helped out tremendously. One last study material that I used was the Exam Cram book, was a light read and had additional questions.
