Wifi

WiFi also spelled Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology used across the globe. It refers to any system that uses the 802.11 standard, which was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and released in 1997. A person or business can use a wireless router or similar device to create a "hotspot" or area in which appropriate devices can connect wirelessly to a network or gain Internet access.



Computers with appropriate network cards can connect wirelessly to a proper router.  This router is usually connected to the Internet by means of a modem, often one featuring a high-speed connection.  Any user within 200 feet or so of the access point can then connect to the Internet, though for good transfer rates, distances of 100 feet or less are often suggested.
