What books/equipment should I purchase to better learn networking?
I am only competent enough to set up wifi networks and home network stuff, but I want to learn more server, WAN, etc stuff.
Essentially, what is a good book to start learning marketable networking skills?
Thanks /g/
Just get a Network+ book
One advantage I can think of is going to get the N+ cert which is something employers like

Study for the CCNA

There's this book for the ICND1 cert. You'll also want to pick one up for the ICND2.
Or, register at your nearest community college and take a CCNA class there. Probably easier and will have more resources.

Seconding a Network+ book. It teaches the basic fundamentals of networking which considering your lack of experience is probably what you need.

My personal recommendation is the All in one Network+ by Mike Meyers since that is what I used to pass the exam years ago.
