WiFi
Abbreviation for “Wireless Fidelity”. A standard which enables computers,
smartphones, digital cameras and other compatible devices to establish a
connection with a wireless network (

WLAN
Abbreviation for “Wireless Local Area Network”. The WLAN is the modern
variant of a computer network which is used in small companies and
households. It consists of multiple computers and other devices which are
connected with one another and can communicate and exchange data with
one another. However, unlike a LAN, the data is transferred wirelessly rather
than by cable. To ensure the wireless signals are not intercepted by
unauthorised parties,
encryption
of the signals is very important. The WLAN is
often connected to the internet.
WPS
Abbreviation for “WiFi Protected Setup”. For security reasons, wireless
networks are encrypted and a password is required to establish a connection
to them. On the one hand, this password can be defined manually. In this
case, the user needs to enter the password to establish a connection. On the
other hand, there is the option whereby a button is pressed on the access point
or router providing the wireless network with a few moments to attempt
synchronisation with the connecting device (e.g. smartphone). This is achieved
