About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for
certain types of wireless local area networks (WLAN).
These device types use an 802.11 wireless
specification to transmit and receive wireless data.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing
and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These
WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as within most
Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring knowledge of the
Router name and password).
