Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a branded standard for wireless connecting electronic
devices. A Wi-Fi device, such as a personal computer, video
game console, smartphone, or digital audio player can connect to
the Internet via a wireless network access point. An access point
(or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 feet) indoors and
a greater range outdoors. Multiple overlapping access points can
cover large areas.
