What is Wifi?
Wifi, short for wireless fidelity, is a technology used to enable devices to connect and communicate with each other. The Wifi technology utilizes radio based technologies called IEEE 802.11 standards (see below). An advantage of the wifi technology is its ease of use, especially its ability to connect computers, laptops and PDA's to each other, to the Internet, and to wired and wireless networks.
