About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity"and sometimes referred to
as Wi-Fi) is a term used for certain types of Wireless Local
Area Networks (WLAN). Wi-Fi communication requires
access to a Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can
either be Open (unsecured) as with many Hot Spots, or
Secured, meaning you need to sign in with a password.
